Sally: OK. I'll take your bet, as long as the winner gets to pick the movie. What about you, Nick?
Nick: Sure. Do you want to go first, Sally?
Sally: Why not! (Sally rolls the dice) I rolled a five. The category is "Best Pictures."
Nick: OK, here's your question: "What movie won the 1996 Oscar for Best Picture?"
Sally: I know that, it's The English Patient. It was one of the only good American movies of the 90s.
Nick: Well, along with Jurassic Park! Nice going, you got the right answer.
