Trivia: Whose CD does Karen receive as a Christmas gift in “Love Actually”?
Alanis Morissette
Joni Mitchell
Fleetwood Mac
Bernadette Peters
The correct answer is Joni Mitchell
So why is this answer correct? : One of the most heartrending scenes in the popular holiday romance film “Love Actually” (2003) is when Karen (Emma Thompson) receives an unwanted Christmas present from her husband Harry (Alan Rickman). Instead of the necklace she discovered earlier in his coat pocket, Karen receives a Joni Mitchell CD. The heartbreaking scene ensues when she realizes the necklace was meant for someone else. Karen excuses herself and goes upstairs to drown out her sorrows to Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now.” She then composes herself and heads back downstairs, knowing everything in her life has changed forever.
