Due to several mitigating factors, our September Oscar predictions update will be delayed. We hope to have everything ready tomorrow morning and will post in place of the Oscar Profile this week so that Pete can take a week off.

Cinema Sight will be going through a redesign shortly to update the look and feel and to better align with our “sister” site Awards Landscape. Please note that the layout and format may be changing frequently. We will announce as soon as the redesign is complete.

Beginning next week, we’ll be starting a new series on the site: Contenders. Looking at the historical factors that can make or break a film’s Oscar chances, the Contenders series is intended to try and quantify those metrics into a universal system. As this is the first year, it’s probable that weight factors and variables…

While I may not be able to present these new features weekly, I will certainly try. One of our first new features is a full slate of predictions. On Cinema Sight, I post my Oscar Hopefuls, a list of films that are in contention for the Oscars. Some of them are pure flights of fancy,…

We will be moving this site soon, so while posts will be going live that have already been scheduled, nothing new will be written until after the transfer occurs.

Oscar season always makes writing all the content for the website on top of the various precursors coming out left right and sent an extremely rough task. This week, is notably a challenge as I have 6 Morning After write-ups to do, two Oscar previews, the precursor winners and losers, my weekly full length review,…

What a long, strange trip it’s been. Does anyone remember GeoCities? Not many would. Housing thousands of personal websites back in the 1990’s, GeoCities was where I first found a home for my website. Established in the Hollywood neighborhood, my Oscar fansite started small and grew to what it is today. After twenty years, everything…

Cinema Sight is back up and operational and it seems to be loading a lot faster. I remain cautiously optimistic that whatever was causing the 508 and 403 errors will be a thing of the past. Hopefully I can get everything caught up to where everything is flowing well again with posts and such. The…

The site is moving to a new host overnight tonight (Thursday/Friday). We hope to have the transition completed so you never see this post. However, if you do, please be aware that anything you post between now and the transfer to the new domain (which can take 4-24 hours I’m told) will not be reflected…

Cinema Sight is currently experiencing some major connectivity issues. I’m working to determine what the problem is, but have found no solution yet. As such, I will be making some temporary changes to the site, which may cause things to look differently than usual or not display correctly. As soon as I’m able to figure…

Patreon is a site that acts as an intermediary between artists and their supporters. As a writer, it’s imperative to ensure there is an inflow of funds to help operate the website and, eventually, pay our contributors who’ve been very gracious to work for years for free. You get benefits depending on how much your…

18 years ago today, I took my crazy notion for an Oscar-themed website and found a place on GeoCities where I started the website “The Oscar Guy”. For fourteen years, I operated as The Oscar Guy before the Academy finally noticed I was around and sent me a C&D letter. Since 2010, the site has…
