Peter Finch was a British-born Australian actor. Secondly, if I had a pound for every British Prime Minister connection I'd heard in pub quizzes I would be a much wealther man!.

Except that Peter Finch won Best Actor, not Supporting Actor, so the question is correct.

I stand corrected. Come to think of it Peter Finch isn't even one of the answers so goodness knows what I was thinking of - too much brandy the night before. Although in saying that - Jon, you are as clearly as confused as I am as Heath Ledger won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar not Best Actor.

It is precisely that sort of pedantic dialogue that makes me want to do time for some people at pub quizes. This is a great connections quiz, that took someone a deal of time and effort...enough said! Crossing the T's and dotting the I's constantly is what spoils many an evening.
