Christopher Nolan

I guess not, missed the not born in England part.

Paul Haggis

[Aristocrat]

Paul Haggis

Haggis was born too early so auto-scratched

I will try to post a summary - I think you all may benefit from asking some of your remaining questions

10,12, 13. Has acted or directed in a movie (may have also served in the UK or Canadian House of Commons)

[Ernst_Brenner]

Did they win an Oscar?

[Aristocrat]

Did they win an Oscar?

No

[Hominidae]

OK, I have a guess, but I don't feel like using another unfree guess.

I'll ask a question instead. Was this person born in Canada after 1970?

[Aristocrat]

Yes

[yavuzovic]

Let's ask the last question and get to the unfree guesses phase then?

20: Does this person have a dedicated Wikipedia page that features a picture of them, AND has a dedicated Wikipedia page in a language that is primarily written in a non-Latin alphabet?

Yes

[yavuzovic]

Unfree guess: Daniel Roher?

[Hominidae]

The Weeknd

[yavuzovic]

The Weeknd

Oh we didn't have a "primarily known for" questions this time. Great guess.

[Aristocrat]

The Weeknd

This is correct.

The Weeknd

This is also true. It was one of those rounds where the questions asked end up falling into all of the traps that the subject offers.

Of course, the answer was in front of everyone the whole time:

Apologies if there's some delay - it's the weekend and I'm a bit busy with Memorial Day stuff, but I'll try to keep it moving along

[Hominidae]

The funny thing is, if we had gone through the normal questioning route, we wouldn't have fallen into the trap (although actors and musicians are always going to be hard because there are so many of them). Next thread will be up soon.

[SaintSimmer]

I am Canadian, and had NO idea that The Weeknd is!

[SaintSimmer]

Now I'm curious. What is the Weeknd's famous accomplishment(s) in the UK?

[Aristocrat]

Now I'm curious. What is the Weeknd's famous accomplishment(s) in the UK?

I didn’t mean to be misleading - I said yes due to hitting #1 multiple times (albums and singles) on both the UK and Canada charts

That's not misleading. I knew my wording wasn't precise enough even when I wrote it.
