OscarDb.com - The Oscar Movie Database

The upcoming Academy Awards are certainly something to look forwards to. There is a lot of interest on the late Mr. Ledger’s nomination for his already classic portrayal as the Joker, whereas Slumdog Millionaire has caused a true stir. For its part, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is leading the charge with a hefty number of nominations. Any way you look at it, this 22nd of February more than fair share of individuals are going to be glued to their TV sets. And you can count me in, I can tell you.

This site, then, acts as a database of Oscar nominations and winners going back as far as the 1920’s. By glancing at the main page, you are sure to relive a lot of memories. In my personal case, I find it incredible to believe that only a couple of years have elapsed since I watched some titles like Capote and Letters From Iwo Jima. I guess that is because these films have something of a timeless aura attached to them, and I am sure many will tell a similar story.

In addition to that, whenever you check out any title thorough retail information is provided for you to purchase a copy of the movie. A lot of formats are provided in every case – DVDs, Blu Ray discs and collector editions are duly featured. This makes the site an apt shopping destination, and one worth checking out should purchasing a classic or a new hit be the order of the day.

“Hollywood releases hundreds of movies each year. However, only 5 of them have the privelege of being mentioned on the yearly red carpet event, The Academy Awards.

These movies never age and with each passing decade and newer video formats, even the oldest Oscar movies get updated and newer dvds released all the time.
