“the theme answers are all full names” does not really qualify as a theme, i think even in USA today. plus, it has nothing to do with the title.

Ok, but all the theme answers were FULL names, not just first or last. The movie that fit that (full name) was The Life of Emile Zola.

“This week’s contest answer is a film that won the Best Picture Oscar. This film’s title would have made a good theme entry this week. ”

I don’t see how that could be any more clear. I just thought of palindrome names and the only one left was EVE. There’s only one well known movie about Eve. I did need to confirm it won Best Picture.

Why is the meta answer supposed to be a valid theme answer?

EDIT: Okay, that’s what Matt’s directions said. Why did I think his directions were “this film’s title would have made a good title this week”? Apparently I’m just skipping words randomly now. Sorry.

Joon, Yes, but the theme awnsers were all real peoples NAMES not movie titles, hence All About Eve does not fit the theme as a legitamate awnser! If Matt had a movie title as one of the awnsers, I concede the point, but he didnt! My only Bitch is That All About Eve is not a valid theme awnser.

While I nearly went cross-eyed while searching for the movie Matt was referring to, it wasn’t hard to determine what to look for.

@John,

I don’t agree with the foul call. The way I look at it was the theme entries led us to look for a movie with a person’s name in it that happened to be an anagram.
