And we're Back...

And Some Music

Oscars anyone?

EGOT.

slightly longish.
connect in no specific order:
actors John Gielgud, Helen Hayes, Audrey Hepburn, Rita Moreno, Whoopi Goldberg; composers Marvin Hamlisch, Richard Rodgers, and Jonathan Tunick; director / screenwriter Mel Brooks and director Mike Nichols.
Liza Minnelli, James Earl Jones and Barbra Streisand also fall in the above category but their accomplishment is slightly different from the rest. Explain the difference.

Please don't Google :D

X is a fictional gun-fighting martial art discipline that is a significant part of the film Y. It is based upon the premise that, given the positions of the participants in a gun battle, the trajectories of fire are statistically predictable. By pure memorization of the positions, one can fire at the most likely location of an enemy without aiming at him in the traditional sense of pointing a gun at a specific target. By the same token, the trajectories of incoming fire are also statistically predictable, so by assuming the appropriate stance, one can keep one's body clear of the most likely way of enemy bullets

Give me X and Y

The night was filled with dark and cold,
When Sergeant Talbert, the story’s told,
Pulled on his poncho and headed out,
To check the lines dressed like a Kraut.

Upon a trooper, our hero came,
Fast asleep, he called his name,
Smith! Oh, Smith! Get up! It’s time
To take your place out on the line.

[And Private] Smith, so very weary,
Cracked an eye all read and bleary,
[Then] grabbed his gun [rifle], he did not tarry,
Hearing Floyd but seeing Jerry.

DON’T! cried Tab, IT’S ME!, and yet,
Smith charged, tout suite, with bayonet.
He lunged, he thrust, both high and low,
And skewered the boy from Kokomo.

And as they carried him [Floyd] away,
Our punctured hero was heard to say,
When in this war you venture out,
Best never do it dressed as a Kraut!

Gimme the title of the poem and where would you find it? (quite famous)
