Site Move
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.

Posting Delay
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,…

From the Archives
The Cinema Sight website began in the mid-1990s, so there’s a long and varied history that this site has to offer. A lot of that detail has been largely inaccessible because of how WordPress works. I’m hoping to convert a lot of older articles and re-post them. You may see some very very old articles…

Cinema Sight: Celebrating 20 Years
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…

Welcome to the New Location
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…

Site Is Moving
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…

Site Connectivity Issues
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…

Cinema Sight / The Oscar Guy Turns 18
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…

Site Updates, Part 2
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…

Two Site Events Worth Noting
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…

Happy 17th Anniversary, Cinema Sight!
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…

Happy 16th Anniversary, Cinema Sight
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…
