OSCAR MONTH!
PUZZLE #114
ZIGZAGNUT 3
The numbered clues are for the zigzags, which work their way down through the diagram in the outlined areas. The "Rows" clues are for the answers, two per row, to be entered straight across each row in the diagram, but to make things harder, you don't know which specific rows the answers will go into! (Though the answers in the rows themselves are in the correct order)
This week's FINAL ANSWER is the answer entered in the unclued entry in the middle of the diagram (marked with a question mark): the name of an Oscar-winning actress
ROWS (in random order; each contains two answers)
* Chamillionaire hit that was parodied by Weird Al as "White & Nerdy" / Bring a toon to life
* Ward (off) / 1979 sci-fi film that won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects
* Fixes typos / Moose or elk

You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or get a hint from me in exchange for a "hint star", more details for that are on the sidebar to the right) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured that one out. If you have a printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for a version you can print out!
