Yahoo! Movies devoted special coverage to the Academy Awards with a special Oscars site. The Oscars site included articles, show coverage, a list of the night's big winners, photos, videos, and polls.[2]
From 2002 to 2007, Yahoo! Movies was the home of Greg's Previews of Upcoming Movies, an enhanced version of Upcomingmovies.com, written by its creator, Greg Dean Schmitz.[3][4]
Yahoo! Movies also released special guides, such as the Summer Movie Guide, which contained information on the major releases of the summer with exclusive trailers and clips, photos, box office information, polls, and unique editorial content.[5]
Additionally, Yahoo! Movies teamed up with MTV to host a special site for the MTV Movie Awards, which featured show information and a section where users could submit original movie shorts parodying last year's movies for the chance to win the new award, Best Movie Spoof.[6]
