@Trek - Yeah but at least it's right in the scoring
@Paul - You wrote UK first, and as incorrects are still answers i took that. Be clearer in the future but writing one answer per question

There was a vote to leave the EU, and the vote went in that favour. I don't follow if we have left yet or not... All I know is that we voted to leave.

Ah ok. In Germany we get reminded often enough that you're still not out, so I thought in the epicentre of the brexit, people would always know what's going on in that aspect.

As I wrote in the message to TMM, while I'm perfectly aware EU still includes UK, I figured most people would go with that, but I guess sometimes trying to be correct pays off, while it didn't some time ago with Rome's imperators

Reminder: Deadline is tomorrow at midday (so that's almost exactly 25hours from now). I've had 21 responses so far, which is still a good number.
Next Round will, in theory, be a bit easier and slimmed down. I'll take the comments this round isn't the most general of general knowledge (although i still think it is...).

Round 3: Film & TV
Results
1) Name a film starring Anna Kendrick
It was all about the singing, Pitch Perfect scoring a manly 13. 7 is a respectable score for Twilight. Only 2 scored for her Oscar nomination Up In The Air. Various single scores, including a no answer. And i don't class the "Cups" music video as correct, but it was Anna at least.
Spoiler Pitch Pefect x13
Twilight x7
Up In The Air x2
The Accountant x1
Into The Woods x1
"no answer" x1
Drinking Buddies x1
Cups music video x1
TMM's Gifs x1
2) Name a TV show about sport
Our top answer's are Sports Center (the place for sports!) and Match of the day with 5. The classic Friday Night Lights scored 3, as did WWE Raw. The Tour de France netting 2 points. Lots of single scores as well. But factual was deinfately the way to go this question.
Also note this question spoils trek's 5-pointer.
Spoiler Sports Center x5
Match of the Day x5
Friday Night Lights x3
WWE Raw x3
Tour de France x2
American Ninja Warrior x1
Football Focus x1
Yowamushi Pedal! x1
Monday Night Football x1
Inside NBA x1
WWE Smackdown x1
Soccer AM x1
ESPN x1
All or Nothing x1
Breakdown x1
3) Name a film directed by Alfred Hitchcock
Runaway success for the iconic Psycho with 16 points! Various 2 pointers from Vertigo (probably my personal favorite), Rebecca and The Birds. You should all watch all the answers though.
The Perfect Crime is incorrect, as it was TV not a Film.
Spoiler Psycho x16
Vertigo x2
Rebecca x2
The Birds x2
The Perfect Crime x1
Rear Window x1
The 39 Steps x1
Blackmail x1
Jamaica x1
TMM's Gifs x1
4) Name a TV show that aired in the '80s
The iconic "bar show" comes out in front, Cheers netting 5 points. I don't pity the fools who went for The A-Team, 4 points isn't bad. Unexpected 3 for The Cosby Show. We also get 2 for The Simpsons (first aired December 89) and for Dallas. Loads of singles as well.
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air not correct, first airing in May 1990. So close... Also note this question spoils Jandals 5-pointer.
Spoiler Cheers x5
A-Team x4
Cosby Show x3
Simpsons x2
Dallas x2
Superted x1
Golden Girls x1
The Next Generation x1
Alf x1
Dukes of Hazard x1
Red Dwarf x1
Hill Street Blues x1
Miami Vice x1
Taxi x1
The Fresh Prince x1
MASH x1
Tour de France x1
5) Name a TV show spin-off from/based on a film
4 points go to Star Wars: Clone Wars, even though we try not to admit that was a thing. Other than that we had plenty of 2 scores: Agents of Shield, Stargate, Hannibal, Penguins of Madagascar, Pink Panther and both Friday Night Lights and MASH make another appearance.
Also note that this question spoils TMM's 5-pointer.
Spoiler Clone Wars x4
Shield x2
Stargate x2
Hannibal x2
Friday Night Lights x2
MASH x2
Penguins of Madagascar x2
Pink Panther x2
Scream x1
Fargo x1
Sarah Connor Chronicles x1
London's Burning x1
Bates Motel x1
Timon & Pumba x1
Men in Black x1
Back to the Future x1
Buzz Lightyear x1
3 Days Vlaanderen x1
Results time! Just a single perfect round, for Baseballlover. Great work from him! weridskyfan, matt17br and LWT only just missing out. No 5-pointers at all is a huge surprise, especially given some of the answers from those aiming low.

So as you might expect, this has shuffled the Overall Ranking around. lakebeach takes the solo lead, as Selwink slips to 3rd. LWThrax gains ground back and is right in contention. It's very close in the mid-pack but the top end has started to break clear. I'd guess probaly the winner will come for the Top7 now.

Well, that one does not surprise me... The perfect round streak had to end at some point. Not mentioning Psycho is really stupid in any case.

Of course it had to be Cheers, but the temptation to go for Cosby was just too big
Surprised I scored so high in this round and I'm therefore somehow still in contention.
