The Lost Challenges discussion

Impressive Australian Actors
Duration: July 1, 2024 - September 30, 2024

Object: Read a book for each actor.


Geoffrey Rush
While Geoffrey Rush hasn't achieved the enormity of fame of some of his Australian countryfolk, he has proven to be maybe the most awarded actor to hail from the country, after becoming one of 24 people to win the Triple Crown of Acting (having won an Academy Award, a Primetime Emmy and a Tony Award). Rush staked his claim in America with his breathtaking performance in Shine which won him the Academy Award for Best Actor in 1996. The actor's deft touch across theater, film and television have made him an elder statesman of the Australian acting community.
🎞️ 1. Read a book whose title begins with R OR whose location begins with a letter in TOOWOOMBA (share location) OR with an older male character.

Judith Davis
In a career spanning over four decades of both screen and stage, she has been commended for her versatility and regarded as one of the finest actresses of her generation. Frequent collaborator Woody Allen described her as "one of the most exciting actresses in the world". Davis has received numerous accolades, including nine AACTA Awards, three Primetime Emmy Awards, two BAFTA Awards, and two Golden Globe Awards, in addition to nominations for two Academy Awards.
🎞️ 2. Read a book whose title begins with D OR whose location begins with a letter in PERTH (share location) OR with an older female character.

Hugh Jackman
Beginning in theatre and television, Jackman landed his breakthrough role as Wolverine in the X-Men film series (2000–2017, 2024), a role that earned him the Guinness World Record for "longest career as a live-action Marvel character", until his record was surpassed by Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier in May 2022. Prominent on both screen and stage, he has received various accolades, including a Primetime Emmy Award, a Grammy Award and two Tony Awards, along with nominations for an Academy Award and a British Academy Film Award. Jackman was appointed a Companion of the Order of Australia in 2019.
🎞️ 3. Read a book whose title begins with J OR whose location begins with a letter in SYDNEY (share location) OR that is from a series (share series name).

Guy Pearce
Easily one of the most underrated actors to hail from Australia, Guy Pearce has quietly built one of the most respected careers of any foreign actor in America throughout the last 25 years. Consider his indie standouts alone: Memento, Priscilla Queen of the Desert and The Proposition. Those films are defined by his performances — and all had an impressive critical reception Stateside (and that's before we mention more mainstream roles in The Hurt Locker and his recent turn in Mare of Easttown). Pearce is an actor's actor, able to move nimbly between roles in enormous films and tiny indies, often with a flawless American accent (when needed). While he may never land the Oscar bait role that garners him his proper acclaim, his respect within the industry scrapes the ceiling.
🎞️ 4. Read a book whose title begins with G OR whose location begins with a letter in GEELONG (share location) OR with a law enforcement character.

Eric Bana
He was such a unique talent that, with only two Australian features under his belt, Ridley Scott included him in the now legendary cast of Black Hawk Down. Truly a director's actor, that small role alerted Steven Spielberg to his enormous talent, as he was cast in Munich four years later in what remains the most depthful role of his early career. Bana carries his compatriots' talent for a range of dialects, having now played just about every Western nationality in various roles that have cemented his dramatic acting prowess, and ironically as an actor whose latest ventures have often been voice roles in animated features.
🎞️ 5. Read a book whose title begins with E OR whose location begins with a letter in MELBOURNE (share location) OR that is a graphic novel.

Cate Blanchett
Born from an Australian mother and an American father, Cate Blanchett has distinguished herself from other Aussie imports for her tremendous range as an actor, whether it be portraying historical figures like Katherine Hepburn and Bob Dylan in The Aviator, and I'm Not There, as well as incredibly inventive fictional roles like Galadriel in The Lord of the Rings franchise. Her poise and confidence as an actor harken back to old Hollywood starlets like Rita Hayworth, transcending her Australian roots to become a household name in America. She has received numerous accolades, including two Academy Awards, four British Academy Film Awards and four Golden Globe Awards, in addition to nominations for two Primetime Emmy Awards and a Tony Award.
🎞️ 6. Read a book whose title begins with B OR whose location begins with a letter in IVANHOE (share location) OR with a character named Cate or Catherine (different spellings allowed).

Jason Clarke
The list of Australian actors who could convincingly play an American icon like Jerry West is one, with Jason Clarke showing his tremendous dexterity with the recent role in Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty. Clarke has quietly carved out an incredibly-impressive career, moving from character actor to supporting mainstay in many major films and streaming series, including another recent portrayal of American icon Ted Kennedy in Chappaquidick. Clarke still lives somewhere between "That Guy" and bona fide star status, but given his trajectory thus far, it's only a matter of time before his fame and accolades catch up to his preternatural acting abilities.
🎞️ 7. Read a book whose title begins with C OR whose location begins with a letter in WINTON (share location) OR published after 1997 (share pub. date).

Toni Collette
She is long overdue for an Oscar win, after a nomination for The Sixth Sense and few BAFTA noms for Little Miss Sunshine and About a Boy. Her hardened roles have, time-and-again, proven her to be an unparalleled dramatic actress, often the sanity that leads an audience through the mire and cacophony of the schizophrenic worlds that her characters inhabit. She's proven her ability to lead major TV projects after a Primetime Emmy for The United States of Tara, but has yet to receive adequate acclaim and awards booty to match her skyscraping level of talent.
🎞️ 8. Read a book whose title begins with T OR whose location begins with a letter in BLACKTOWN (share location) OR where a character sings.

Chris Hemsworth
He rose to prominence playing Kim Hyde in the Australian television series Home and Away (2004–2007) before beginning a film career in Hollywood. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Hemsworth starred as Thor in the 2011 film of the same name and reprised the role in several films, including in Thor: Love and Thunder (2022), which established him among the world's highest-paid actors.
🎞️ 9. Read a book whose title begins with H OR whose location begins with a letter in BULMAN (share location) OR set in a seaside town.

Margot Robbie
Known for her work in both blockbuster and independent films, she has received various accolades, including nominations for three Academy Awards, six BAFTA Awards and four Golden Globe Awards. Time named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2017, and Forbes named her the world's highest-paid actress in 2023. She has become the world's most famous living actress with Barbie.
🎞️ 10. Read a book whose title begins with M OR whose location begins with a letter in DALBY (share location) OR with a pink cover or a pink title (show cover).

Object: Read a book for each actor.


Geoffrey Rush
While Geoffrey Rush hasn't achieved the enormity of fame of some of his Australian countryfolk, he has proven to be maybe the most awarded actor to hail from the country, after becoming one of 24 people to win the Triple Crown of Acting (having won an Academy Award, a Primetime Emmy and a Tony Award). Rush staked his claim in America with his breathtaking performance in Shine which won him the Academy Award for Best Actor in 1996. The actor's deft touch across theater, film and television have made him an elder statesman of the Australian acting community.
🎞️ 1. Read a book with an older male character.
Classified as Murder by Miranda James 08.02.24 (MC Charlie)

Judith Davis
In a career spanning over four decades of both screen and stage, she has been commended for her versatility and regarded as one of the finest actresses of her generation. Frequent collaborator Woody Allen described her as "one of the most exciting actresses in the world". Davis has received numerous accolades, including nine AACTA Awards, three Primetime Emmy Awards, two BAFTA Awards, and two Golden Globe Awards, in addition to nominations for two Academy Awards.
🎞️ 2. Read a book whose location begins with a letter in PERTH (share location)
None of This Is True by Lisa Jewell 07.01.24 (England)

Hugh Jackman
Beginning in theatre and television, Jackman landed his breakthrough role as Wolverine in the X-Men film series (2000–2017, 2024), a role that earned him the Guinness World Record for "longest career as a live-action Marvel character", until his record was surpassed by Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier in May 2022. Prominent on both screen and stage, he has received various accolades, including a Primetime Emmy Award, a Grammy Award and two Tony Awards, along with nominations for an Academy Award and a British Academy Film Award. Jackman was appointed a Companion of the Order of Australia in 2019.
🎞️ 3. Read a book that is from a series (share series name).
Chaos in Little Leaf Creek by Cindy Bell 07.02.24 (Little Leaf Creek)

Guy Pearce
Easily one of the most underrated actors to hail from Australia, Guy Pearce has quietly built one of the most respected careers of any foreign actor in America throughout the last 25 years. Consider his indie standouts alone: Memento, Priscilla Queen of the Desert and The Proposition. Those films are defined by his performances — and all had an impressive critical reception Stateside (and that's before we mention more mainstream roles in The Hurt Locker and his recent turn in Mare of Easttown). Pearce is an actor's actor, able to move nimbly between roles in enormous films and tiny indies, often with a flawless American accent (when needed). While he may never land the Oscar bait role that garners him his proper acclaim, his respect within the industry scrapes the ceiling.
🎞️ 4. Read a book whose title begins with G
The God of the Woods by Liz Moore 08.29.24

Eric Bana
He was such a unique talent that, with only two Australian features under his belt, Ridley Scott included him in the now legendary cast of Black Hawk Down. Truly a director's actor, that small role alerted Steven Spielberg to his enormous talent, as he was cast in Munich four years later in what remains the most depthful role of his early career. Bana carries his compatriots' talent for a range of dialects, having now played just about every Western nationality in various roles that have cemented his dramatic acting prowess, and ironically as an actor whose latest ventures have often been voice roles in animated features.
🎞️ 5. Read a book whose location begins with a letter in MELBOURNE (share location)
White Colander Crime by Victoria Hamilton 07.29.24 (Michigan)

Cate Blanchett
Born from an Australian mother and an American father, Cate Blanchett has distinguished herself from other Aussie imports for her tremendous range as an actor, whether it be portraying historical figures like Katherine Hepburn and Bob Dylan in The Aviator, and I'm Not There, as well as incredibly inventive fictional roles like Galadriel in The Lord of the Rings franchise. Her poise and confidence as an actor harken back to old Hollywood starlets like Rita Hayworth, transcending her Australian roots to become a household name in America. She has received numerous accolades, including two Academy Awards, four British Academy Film Awards and four Golden Globe Awards, in addition to nominations for two Primetime Emmy Awards and a Tony Award.
🎞️ 6. Read a book whose location begins with a letter in IVANHOE (share location)
Happy Place by Emily Henry 07.11.24 (Vermont)

Jason Clarke
The list of Australian actors who could convincingly play an American icon like Jerry West is one, with Jason Clarke showing his tremendous dexterity with the recent role in Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty. Clarke has quietly carved out an incredibly-impressive career, moving from character actor to supporting mainstay in many major films and streaming series, including another recent portrayal of American icon Ted Kennedy in Chappaquidick. Clarke still lives somewhere between "That Guy" and bona fide star status, but given his trajectory thus far, it's only a matter of time before his fame and accolades catch up to his preternatural acting abilities.
🎞️ 7. Read a book whose location begins with a letter in WINTON (share location)
First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston 07.11.24 (North Carolina)

Toni Collette
She is long overdue for an Oscar win, after a nomination for The Sixth Sense and few BAFTA noms for Little Miss Sunshine and About a Boy. Her hardened roles have, time-and-again, proven her to be an unparalleled dramatic actress, often the sanity that leads an audience through the mire and cacophony of the schizophrenic worlds that her characters inhabit. She's proven her ability to lead major TV projects after a Primetime Emmy for The United States of Tara, but has yet to receive adequate acclaim and awards booty to match her skyscraping level of talent.
🎞️ 8. Read a book whose title begins with T
Two Can Keep a Secret by Karen M. McManus 08.23.24

Chris Hemsworth
He rose to prominence playing Kim Hyde in the Australian television series Home and Away (2004–2007) before beginning a film career in Hollywood. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Hemsworth starred as Thor in the 2011 film of the same name and reprised the role in several films, including in Thor: Love and Thunder (2022), which established him among the world's highest-paid actors.
🎞️ 9. Read a book whose title begins with H
Hard Eight by Janet Evanovich 08.19.24

Margot Robbie
Known for her work in both blockbuster and independent films, she has received various accolades, including nominations for three Academy Awards, six BAFTA Awards and four Golden Globe Awards. Time named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2017, and Forbes named her the world's highest-paid actress in 2023. She has become the world's most famous living actress with Barbie.

Impressive Australian Actors
Duration: July 1, 2024 - September 30, 2024

Progress: 10 out of 10

Object: Read a book for each actor.

Geoffrey Rush
While Geoffrey Rush hasn't achieved the enormity of fame of some of his Australian countryfolk, he has proven to be maybe the most awarded actor to hail from the country, after becoming one of 24 people to win the Triple Crown of Acting (having won an Academy Award, a Primetime Emmy and a Tony Award). Rush staked his claim in America with his breathtaking performance in Shine which won him the Academy Award for Best Actor in 1996. The actor's deft touch across theater, film and television have made him an elder statesman of the Australian acting community.
🎞️ 1. Read a book whose title begins with R OR whose location begins with a letter in TOOWOOMBA (share location) OR with an older male character.
Road Queens by MaryJanice Davidson - *** - 7/13/2024 - 329 Pages - Title begins with R



Judith Davis
In a career spanning over four decades of both screen and stage, she has been commended for her versatility and regarded as one of the finest actresses of her generation. Frequent collaborator Woody Allen described her as "one of the most exciting actresses in the world". Davis has received numerous accolades, including nine AACTA Awards, three Primetime Emmy Awards, two BAFTA Awards, and two Golden Globe Awards, in addition to nominations for two Academy Awards.
🎞️ 2. Read a book whose title begins with D OR whose location begins with a letter in PERTH (share location) OR with an older female character.
Through the Grinder by Cleo Coyle - ***** - 7/5/2024 - 270 Pages - Old female character



Hugh Jackman
Beginning in theatre and television, Jackman landed his breakthrough role as Wolverine in the X-Men film series (2000–2017, 2024), a role that earned him the Guinness World Record for "longest career as a live-action Marvel character", until his record was surpassed by Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier in May 2022. Prominent on both screen and stage, he has received various accolades, including a Primetime Emmy Award, a Grammy Award and two Tony Awards, along with nominations for an Academy Award and a British Academy Film Award. Jackman was appointed a Companion of the Order of Australia in 2019.
🎞️ 3. Read a book whose title begins with J OR whose location begins with a letter in SYDNEY (share location) OR that is from a series (share series name).
Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez - ***** - 8/2/2024 - 432 Pages - Title begins with J



Guy Pearce
Easily one of the most underrated actors to hail from Australia, Guy Pearce has quietly built one of the most respected careers of any foreign actor in America throughout the last 25 years. Consider his indie standouts alone: Memento, Priscilla Queen of the Desert and The Proposition. Those films are defined by his performances — and all had an impressive critical reception Stateside (and that's before we mention more mainstream roles in The Hurt Locker and his recent turn in Mare of Easttown). Pearce is an actor's actor, able to move nimbly between roles in enormous films and tiny indies, often with a flawless American accent (when needed). While he may never land the Oscar bait role that garners him his proper acclaim, his respect within the industry scrapes the ceiling.
🎞️ 4. Read a book whose title begins with G OR whose location begins with a letter in GEELONG (share location) OR with a law enforcement character.
Galatea by Madeline Miller - **** - 8/1/2024 - 27 Pages - Title begins with G



Eric Bana
He was such a unique talent that, with only two Australian features under his belt, Ridley Scott included him in the now legendary cast of Black Hawk Down. Truly a director's actor, that small role alerted Steven Spielberg to his enormous talent, as he was cast in Munich four years later in what remains the most depthful role of his early career. Bana carries his compatriots' talent for a range of dialects, having now played just about every Western nationality in various roles that have cemented his dramatic acting prowess, and ironically as an actor whose latest ventures have often been voice roles in animated features.
🎞️ 5. Read a book whose title begins with E OR whose location begins with a letter in MELBOURNE (share location) OR that is a graphic novel.
Super Late Bloomer: My Early Days in Transition by Julia Kaye - **** - 7/6/2024 - 160 Pages - Graphic Novel



Cate Blanchett
Born from an Australian mother and an American father, Cate Blanchett has distinguished herself from other Aussie imports for her tremendous range as an actor, whether it be portraying historical figures like Katherine Hepburn and Bob Dylan in The Aviator, and I'm Not There, as well as incredibly inventive fictional roles like Galadriel in The Lord of the Rings franchise. Her poise and confidence as an actor harken back to old Hollywood starlets like Rita Hayworth, transcending her Australian roots to become a household name in America. She has received numerous accolades, including two Academy Awards, four British Academy Film Awards and four Golden Globe Awards, in addition to nominations for two Primetime Emmy Awards and a Tony Award.
🎞️ 6. Read a book whose title begins with B OR whose location begins with a letter in IVANHOE (share location) OR with a character named Cate or Catherine (different spellings allowed).
Break by Kayla Miller - ***** - 7/9/2024 - 220 Pages - Title begins with B



Jason Clarke
The list of Australian actors who could convincingly play an American icon like Jerry West is one, with Jason Clarke showing his tremendous dexterity with the recent role in Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty. Clarke has quietly carved out an incredibly-impressive career, moving from character actor to supporting mainstay in many major films and streaming series, including another recent portrayal of American icon Ted Kennedy in Chappaquidick. Clarke still lives somewhere between "That Guy" and bona fide star status, but given his trajectory thus far, it's only a matter of time before his fame and accolades catch up to his preternatural acting abilities.
🎞️ 7. Read a book whose title begins with C OR whose location begins with a letter in WINTON (share location) OR published after 1997 (share pub. date).
Teen Titans: Beast Boy Loves Raven by Kami Garcia - ***** - 7/8/2024 - 208 Pages - Location is Nashville Tennessee



Toni Collette
She is long overdue for an Oscar win, after a nomination for The Sixth Sense and few BAFTA noms for Little Miss Sunshine and About a Boy. Her hardened roles have, time-and-again, proven her to be an unparalleled dramatic actress, often the sanity that leads an audience through the mire and cacophony of the schizophrenic worlds that her characters inhabit. She's proven her ability to lead major TV projects after a Primetime Emmy for The United States of Tara, but has yet to receive adequate acclaim and awards booty to match her skyscraping level of talent.
🎞️ 8. Read a book whose title begins with T OR whose location begins with a letter in BLACKTOWN (share location) OR where a character sings.
Tiny Fox and Great Boar: There by Berenika Kołomycka - **** - 7/5/2024 - 64 Pages - Title begins with T



Chris Hemsworth
He rose to prominence playing Kim Hyde in the Australian television series Home and Away (2004–2007) before beginning a film career in Hollywood. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Hemsworth starred as Thor in the 2011 film of the same name and reprised the role in several films, including in Thor: Love and Thunder (2022), which established him among the world's highest-paid actors.
🎞️ 9. Read a book whose title begins with H OR whose location begins with a letter in BULMAN (share location) OR set in a seaside town.
How to Solve Your Own Murder by Kristen Perrin - **** - 7/26/2024 - 368 Pages - Title begins with H



Margot Robbie
Known for her work in both blockbuster and independent films, she has received various accolades, including nominations for three Academy Awards, six BAFTA Awards and four Golden Globe Awards. Time named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2017, and Forbes named her the world's highest-paid actress in 2023. She has become the world's most famous living actress with Barbie.
🎞️ 10. Read a book whose title begins with M OR whose location begins with a letter in DALBY (share location) OR with a pink cover or a pink title (show cover).
Meaty by Samantha Irby - **** - 7/7/2024 - 272 Pages - Title begins with M
