Tuesday Trivia

It's time for trivia!  
And this week we had more of Bill's family joining us…Katherine (the sister), Toby (the bear) and Trudi (the mother).  I'll tell you right up front - we didn't win.  We needed Pretty Deanna in order to score the coveted first place.  But we didn't stink either.  We were in a decent place near the top until the last two questions where we bet the farm and lost.
Basically the night was about eating, playing, and making faces.


Bill's acting challenges were to have one person scolding another….

...jazz hands...
...and imaginary crazy drumstick spinning.  
Bill is clearly wasted on HR. This bucket-banger should be hitting the tubs!  
(I googled drum slang.)


Questions:
What movie did Elizabeth Shue win an Oscar for Best Leading Actress in 1996?
