"It’s the first Oscar nominee for Best Picture to be produced by an Internet streaming service."

The answer was "Manchester by the Sea."

However, the Oscar-winning film was not produced by a streaming service.

"We should have indicated that ‘Manchester by the Sea’ was distributed by a streaming service, not produced by one," Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek said following the final round. "The contestant who was affected by this has been invited back and will appear with us again later this year."

According to Jeopardy! fan website TheJeopardyFan.com, Zoshak is now one of just 13 contestants to be invited back to the show since 1991.

Zoshak did not have an answer to the question, and bet nearly all of her $7,600, ending up with just $25 in the end.

She was in second place going into Final Jeopardy, so hopefully the Malvern native can get a more precise question and give the Malvern area some bragging rights.

Good luck in March, Rebecca!
