Zack teaches algebra and statistics. I thought he'd figure that risking $5,000 to get $10,000 was a good bet.

20K: Song in "Selma" won. Co-composers are black. Hope there are previous song wins too. Oh gee, that win by "Its Hard Out Here for a Pimp". Dunno color of writers, though do of singer (current star of "Empire"). Hallie Berry won best actress for "Monsters' Ball". Think Cuba Gooding won supporting actor for "Jerry Maguire". (If not, he shoulda).

So choose "director". If have 50/50 left, would have used it though.

I'd have been 90% certain that it was best director.
