And the Oscar goes to...

Yes, it's the Hollywood Prom. The Oscars are tomorrow (3/6/10). While you may or may not agree with the academy's choices, you can enjoy the history that surrounds this one very flashy event. Once again, I found something on Resource Shelf(RS), that bears repeating. The RS took a look at free databases that deal with the Academy Awards. I'm talking about just more than lists of winners. RS found databases of speeches, nominees, movie credits, and scripts. Check out the post: Academy Awards & the Movies: Several Databases (Free) from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences
I did some searching around and I discovered the Sally Field "You like me" speech from her 1984 Best Actress win for Places in the Heart.

While doing some searching about for this post, I happened upon the site Learn About Movie Posters. It's a busy looking place where you can search for all types of movie posters (in various languages, too). You'll also get artist info, if it is available. It is a commercial site, but don't let that deter you. I found the Egyptian poster for one of my favorite movie gems, Beastmaster.
