Correct, and welcome to the scoreboard smiley

Ok, since those last two were too quick here is one that requires a bit more.

What game is this? What (game) location is this? Which part of the main quest is this from? Who are the two characters we see? Who are the voice actors for them?

Oops, did not notice those. The location is Weynon Priory; this is the part of the quest where Martin (the heir) is brought to Jauffre, since Martin is still in his priest robe.

(btw, blatant discrimination on the choice of topicsmiley )

You have detailed and amazing knowledge of Oblivion, and I'm pretty sure you never played it...

Anyhow tell whoever is helping you that the location is wrong smiley

This is a wonderful movie, one of the most underrated of all time IMO

Questions:
What movie is this? Name the actor who's face have I blocked out. Name the actor who's viewpoint are we seeing.

Bonus (not required, might be hard to find): Find a current (2016) event, where a professional person verbatim quotes part of the speech that took place in this scene.

The movies is Margin Call and you have blocked out Kevin Spacey. We are seeing the viewpoint of Jeremy Irons.

Maybe I'll watch it some day lot of good actors in this one.


Why would I want to end every post the same way?

Correct!

The bonus question is from this article in Business Insider, maybe we're in for another crisis.

Margin Call is highly rated by people who work in global finance, and was brought forward as a good example, when some of them were mightily annoyed by inaccuracies in The Big Short.

Next question later today.

To misquote Arthur C. Clarke: "Any sufficiently advanced quiz answering technique is indistinguishable from magic (or cheating)".

It's quite simple really; the guy on the left in the screenshot looked like Patrick Stewart. He seems like the guy who would do voice-over work, and game characters often look like their actor, so I found out which games he has acted in. Then I looked at screencaps from those games, and Elder Scrolls IV was a match. To my surprise Patrick Stewart was not the actor for left-guy, but it was somewhat easy to figure out who those two were. Little harder for right-guy, as he is usually not shown in his priest robe. Then I looked through the excellent Elder Scrolls Wiki to figure out plot and location. Easy-peasy!

Nice!
Cool that you managed to do it that way, and using the inferior Elder Scrolls wikia instead of UESPsmiley

New question:
What game is this? Who is in the process of scoring? How much time is left in the game at this moment? What was the score prior to this? What team won the game?

Correct! On fire there Spiff. Would have believed that one of our other resident football experts would have gotten this one before you. At the time it was at least very famous, saving your side with more or less the last action of regular time (94th minute) in a Euro final of all things.

Isn't it the most noteworthy goal from an Arsenal player?smiley

One of the biggest concerts, but which one is it? Who is performing, what is the location, what is the year, and finally what song is this?
