Jeff Bridge - Crazy Heart Jeremy Irons - Reversal of Fortune Joaquin Phoenix - Joker Denzel Washington - Glory and Training Day. The Horn of Africa is on the Eastern Side of the Continent and it looks like a horn.
Definitely the trick to the blue was thinking about the dominant fearure of a unicorn. Then it kind of popped in my head, hey a car has a horn, a bugler has a horn, and then a bit to think of Horn of Africa. It's so funny, green popped out at you, and that was my last category while the horn were 2nd for me and last for you. Connections is a fascinating game.
It was actually very straightforward and easy this time. Once you got rid of bacon (Kevin Bacon), it was clear about the actors. If you knew about Horn of Africa it was also easy.
Good guess on actors. Fortunately, I figured out the horn connection. You are smarter than me. I was surprised you did not get the it. I'd fail miserably if I had to be entertaining while trying to solve it.
🟨 I don't think of bacon as a side 🟩 Yeah, not surprised at Doug's wording - same 🟪 Noticed the correct names 🟦 Only saw the connection once the last ones left
For today's game of Connections: I got all 4 categories with 3 mistakes remaining (Great!) Pointwise, I give myself 4 points. The yellow and green categories I got straight away. The blue and purple categories took a little bit of time, obviously. The blue category ended up being things with horns, and last names of Oscar-Winning actors for the purple. I did make a mistake in getting the horns category, but still got the blue and purple categories. Lol. Have a great day Doug and everyone!
Got yellow then green. I figured that names was one of the group but did not know connection. Left it came back then thought horn of Africa, then solved blue. Still did not get name connection.
Breakfast foods, Things with Horns, push with Finger/hand, Academy Award winning male actors. I think that is 4/4. I saw Unicorn/bugler horns before anything else, but it took a while to connect Car and Africa. But I did.
Todd Bridges is still alive! The only cast member from Diff'rent Strokes who is (unless you count Danny Cooksey). I got all four, with all the categories. Go me!

I read that as Burglar the whole time. Only noticed when I heard you read it.

Hey Doug, you should try Stacked, our daily word game inspired by NYT Connections 😊
lol Todd Bridges is not dead!! 😂
His career has been dead since Diff'rent Strokes ended though.
I’m usually terrible at this game but today I got all four in under a minute with no misses.
i thought Irons gave it away a bit too easily, I saw that and Bridges and it clicked immediately
Purple, yellow, green, blue. Purple I just guessed as actors. Blue stumped me. Totally forgot about the Horn of Africa.

I once had grits in New Orleans Doug.
Dreadful.
Cheers from England 😊 🇬🇧🇺🇸

I think today was a case of over thinking, which I do a lot. sometimes the simple solution works.
Why do online connection players make the puzzles harder than they need to be. Always looking for a trick when the answer is obvious.

I think the actor they think of is Jeff Bridges
Definitely still alive. That show had a lot of tragedy but Todd escaped the curse, at least somewhat.
blue stumped me got the other three quite easily. Purple I figured actors not oscar winners.
