In an article I posted on February 7, I made mention of two other updates I was working on. As these were all prepared using the same spreadsheet formatting and required only a minor bit of tweaking, they were easy to put together, just time-consuming to post. This has now been done. Below are links…

In about an hour, Peter, Tripp and I will begin our category-by-category look at the Oscar races, giving our thoughts and opinions about what’s going on and our predictions for the final victory. Before we get to that, after some hard work and formatting, I have finally retooled and rebooted the Oscar Nominees and Winners…

Every time I think about the number 17, I realize just how much of an accomplishment it is to have been in this industry for so long. 17 years ago today, I launched myself as The Oscar Guy on GeoCities. Who knew that a simple Academy Awards fansite would get me to where I am…

16 years ago today, Cinema Sight was launched as The Oscar Guy. We started out on GeoCities and eventually moved to our domain www.oscarguy.com and subsequently to www.cinemasight.com where you find us today. It’s been an interesting and very busy 16 years, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Thanks everyone for sticking around and…

For several years now, I’ve celebrated the birthday of Cinema Sight along with my own because I couldn’t remember/find data supporting when the site was first created. This year, I uncovered that information, several months after it had already passed, so I was stuck with one big issue. How do I celebrate the 15th Anniversary…

I seldom talk about myself these days, wanting my work to speak for itself. But in order to set up today’s updates, I thought it important for me to start off this way. Today, 11-11-11 is my 36th birthday. I began this website 15 years ago when I was only 20 years old. In 1996,…

For those of you who don’t know what a permalink is, it’s that link you bookmark in your address bar of an article you like. Previously, the site used a too-complex structure that included the date the post was made. Now, the date has been removed and it’s only the site name and title of…

It is with a deep sadness and appreciation for nine years of service that I bid adieu to the message board/forum software I’ve used exclusively for the UAADB (Unofficial Academy Awards Discussion Board) for so long. Last week, I noticed an extreme slowness in accessing not only the message board but my entire site. This…

At 5:30 p.m. on a typical Spring Sunday afternoon, the residents of Joplin, Missouri were sitting down to family dinners. They were browsing for their next home improvement project at Home Depot. They were buying their groceries at Wal-Mart. They were seeking routine medical treatment at St. John’s Hospital. High School students had just graduated,…

I know this is not a film-related post, but this is a monumental event. The mastermind of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, Osama bin Laden, is dead. For more information, please reference the link below to CNN. Osama bin Laden is dead.

My apologies for lack of posting yesterday, but I had a large plate of stuff to get done, so I wasn’t able to get to anything. The Morning After will be postponed until next Monday and the Box Office Predictions Game results will be posted this evening. The rest of the week should go off…

Starting today and through the end of the weekend, I will be taking a tiny vacation. Although I won’t have a lot of time to update the site, I will still do what I can. Most of this week’s articles are already ready to go, but things do come up. So, I’ll be around checking…

I have made a couple of small modifications to the sidebar on the site to provide more data. The first change you may notice is the simplified Update Schedule. To see what is scheduled to post on a given day of the week, just hover over the day and a pop up will show you…

So, June is turning out to be an exceptionally busy month here and I wanted to give you a heads up on some things, get your advice on some of those and then get excited about something else. Item #1: Thursday (tomorrow, June 10), I will be going into the Dentist to have my wisdom…

Our very own Tripp Burton today is a proud papa. Little Elaina Lynn Burton entered the world at 2:32am. She’s 8 lbs., 11 oz., 22 in. Congratulations! Please be aware that Tripp may be conspicuously absent from our updates for a little while, but we understand perfectly why.
