Various styles were available: hammered, brushed, shiny, scratched, with a selection in silver or gold, adjustable or sized.

Did anyone see the photo of Stephanie Kelly and Jack Nicholson in Manasquan NJ on June 30 2009?

Stephanie G. Kelly, 22, of Girardville, Pennsylvania (living in Manasquan for the summer) talked with Jack Nicholson at around 6PM on the Boardwalk at Manasquan New Jersey on June 30, 2009. While fans stood at a distance snapping pictures of the Star, Stephanie joined him while he stood alone at his picnic table eating ice cream with a spoon. She asked him, "So Jack, what brings you to Manasquan?". He replied, "Whimsy". He asked her if she knew what that meant. She jokingly replied, "I'll go out on a "whim" here and they both laughed. He then asked her if she were to spell it would she put an "H" in it. She said "I don't think so". He said, "Wrong. You must have graduated from Manasquan High School" (which is his alma mater) She said I am actually a second grade teacher but we didn't have to know that one (jokingly). Stephanie asked him if she could have a picture with him. He said, "I would love that". She asked if she could put her arm around him. He replied, "I would love that even more. I would put my arm around you, but I am eating ice cream." Another fan then asked if he could have a picture with him and he said "Zero chance, No chance". After finishing his ice cream, he then left in his waiting limousine.

Can a movie have two best lead actors for the Oscars?

Not only can there be two, but there also was an instance in which three men from the same film vied for a Best Actor Oscar.

The 1935 race included three actors from "Mutiny on the Bounty": Clark Gable, who played mutineer Fletcher Christian; Charles Laughton, who starred as the oppressive Captain Bligh; and Franchot Tone, who appeared as midshipman Roger Byam.

The winner that year was Victor McLaglen for his performance in "The Informer" (the fifth nominee was Paul Muni for "Black Fury").

The 1944 Best Actor race was a bit bizarre because Bing Crosby and Barry Fitzgerald were nominated for their performances as priests in "Going My Way." But Fitzgerald also was nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category for the same role. The rules were later changed so this couldn't happen again. Crosby won the Best Actor Award; Fitzgerald won for Best Supporting Actor.

There also were two nominees from one picture in 1953, 1956, 1958, 1961, 1964, 1969, 1972, 1976 and 1983.

The last time two actors from the same movie received Best Actor nominations was in 1984. Both F. Murray Abraham and Tom Hulce were nominated for their performances in "Amadeus." The award went to Abraham, who played Salieri to Hulce's Mozart.
