Which classic Hugh Grant rom-com has a higher Rotten Tomatoes score: Four Weddings and a Funeral or Notting Hill?
Not only two of Grant's most iconic movies, but two of the most iconic rom-coms of the 90s, Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill are remembered fondly by most. But when in terms of the critical reception, Four Weddings and a Funeral is the higher rated movie on Rotten Tomatoes, with a strong 92% "Certified Fresh" score. Notting Hill's score is nothing to be ashamed about though, as that movie is also "Certified Fresh," but just a few points back at 84%. If it's any consolation for fans of Notting Hill, general audiences score the movie better on Rotten Tomatoes.
Which Hugh Grant rom-com is his bigger box office success: Bridget Jones’s Diary or Love Actually
According to IMDb's Box Office Mojo, Bridget Jones's Diary bested the Christmas favorite at the global box office, earning $334 million worldwide to Love Actually's $250 million worldwide. However, Bridget Jones's Diary is not Grant's highest grossing rom-com. That would be Notting Hill, which took in $363 million at the worldwide box office. Though another little feather in the Bridget Jones's Diary hat is that it is the only Hugh Grant movie that we included in the WTW best 100 movies list.
True or False: Hugh Grant has been nominated for an Oscar
This one is false, as Grant has yet to receive an Oscar nomination in his career. He has more success with other awards bodies though. That includes six Golden Globe nominations across movies and TV, including a win for Best Actor in a comedy/musical for Four Weddings and a Funeral; four BAFTA nominations and one win, again for Four Weddings and a Funeral; and two Primetime Emmy nominations. Grant's closest calls with the Oscars likely came for Four Weddings and a Funeral and, more recently, his acclaimed performance in Paddington 2.
Who has directed Hugh Grant in more movies: Richard Curtis or Guy Ritchie?
The answer here is Guy Ritchie, but admittedly this one was a bit of a trick question. Grant has appeared in three movies that Ritchie directed (The Man from U.N.C.L.E., The Gentlemen and Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre) and three movies that Richard Curtis was involved in (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill and Love Actually), but only one of those was directed by Curtis (Love Actually).
