Oscars in Google Earth (1958 - 2008)
This year's winners of Oscars for best actors/actresses was a bit of a news maker. And as usual, there were a few posts about the location in Google Earth of the Academy Awards ceremony at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood. But, I had also seen a post by 'Sam034' at the GEC who created a file 
showing all the Oscars for best picture, and best actor/actress since 1958. He's updated the file to include the 2008 winners. The placemarks show the birthplaces of the winners. And, the file includes a placemark for the Kodak Theater as well. It's surprising no one has modeled the theater in 3D for Google Earth yet - not even in the 3D Warehouse.
