It's a Wonderful Night for Oscar!

Created on 3/4/2006, last active awhile ago.

"Devoted to everything nominated or snubbed by the Academy of Golden Guys"

Join this group

Interested in: No particular genre

Description: Year after year, movie lovers and non movie lovers alike discuss ad nauseum the fate of films nominated for the utmost honor, the Academy Award. Some people watch it for the fashion. Some people watch for the haute couture. Some people watch for their fill of celebrity sightings. If you are a member of this group, you love everything about the Super Bowl of movies, especially the movies themselves! You love to make predictions, guess at the politics, discuss and dissect who should have been nominated and who should have won...or, you're just an avid movie lover that likes to pay attention. Come join the group!

This timeline is history according to film - so if a film quoted something, real or imagined, that happened at some time, real or imagined or artistically/strategically dated, this timeline shows when it happened. It includes such "excellent" dates as when Genghis Khan was kidnapped by Bill and Ted or when Hill Valley, CA was established, or when Brian was crucified but presumably not resurrected (unlike his neighbor Jesus). It's really funny.

It's really funny. Heh, I just found this post you made like three years ago, but the link doesn't work anymore. Too bad. I was interested in looking at it though. I wonder if it accounts for the fact that some movies change history. What if one movie changes the results of history so that another movie never could have occured?

Granted, this has been awhile, but the way I remember it is that it had everything. I can't remember if it was one linear line or lines with offshoots, but things like the Back to the Future screwyness were included. It was huge! It is too bad it doesn't work anymore...maybe it can be google searched and found at a different location?

This doesn't happen to be it does it?? http://www.themovietimeline.com This is pretty comprehensive!! BTW, since this is the Oscar group, what are you hearing will be the Oscar films this year? The studios usually know ahead of time which one they will be so that they can hold off releasing them until the end of the year.
