I MUST remember to look at the title! So often it's a great help(!)
I'd no idea Ursula and Oscar were brother and sister, so to speak.
I've spent ages looking for the derivation of "Bunty" - anyone know?

I dont think many ppl will get it.. i didnt
Yes, the title helped... but never heard of Ursula .
i get it now...good one
Ursula's related to Oscar?
I messed up, it's not related. I don't know why they accepted it.
IS there another name related to Oscar? Then you could change it...
I have no clue.
Someone must have driven a heard or two of cows through these 'waters' to get it this muddy. These comments seem to be from Jupiter while the teaser seems to be from Venus...or is it just me. However the jest of the teaser was good and required thinking which is always good.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I get it now! Great job!
Weren't Anthony Hopkins, Oliver Stone and Emma Thompson all nominated for Oscars in the same year a few years ago?
I wouldn't know, I'm more into the Tony aspect of my teaser. I'm not too into movies
Title of the puzzle gave it away... what happened to the simple answer "all of these names start with vowels."
Oh, I didn't get this one. I was trying to find like O's in all of them or something like that! Good job
I agree with the simplest answer-they all start w/vowels
it's emmy not emma
I know the name of the award is Emmy, but the teaser is that IN ANOTHER FORM, it's the name of the award.
I find it ridiculous that so few people get this teaser.
I got it correct. Loved the teaser XD
