New Oscar Battles!

Oscar season is upon us, and everyone is trying to predict the winner. Celebrity Battles has joined in the fun with two Oscar themed battles:

Who will win the Oscar for Best Actor of 2004?
Who will win the Oscar for Best Actress of 2004?

To be honest, our users have done a terrible job of picking the winner in the past, only being right 50% of the time. This time you guys better get it right!

New feature: edit profile

We've been slaving away at the php scripts, trying to make the website better for all of you. Now (if you're a registered user) you can suggest changes to the description of any celebrity. The link is just under the celebrity's picture on their info page. Hopefully this will lead to less celebrities where it just says "hot" or "model" in their profile. Have fun!
