33 of the best entertainment questions for your next virtual quiz

From Cosmopolitan

When we look back on lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic, a number of things will come to mind. Namely: sweatpants, baking (a lot of baking), and virtual quizzes. We've been quizzing way more than we ever have before. Forget The Governess, we're genuinely eyeing up a career change as one of the experts on The Chase. Bradley Walsh? Give us a call.

If, like us, you've spent every evening competing with your mates over Zoom, and have to host one in the near future, here are some question suggestions in the Entertainment sphere that might give you some inspiration. Celebrities? Movies? Music? We got it covered.

And while it might feel like all you've been doing is quizzing, we're also aware that when you're unable to see family and friends as frequently as you'd like (or in groups larger than six...), sometimes it's the only way to stay in contact. So why not have a little catch up and improve your celeb knowledge while you're at it?
