Oscar Screener Ban to be Revoked for Academy Members

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the saner-solutions dept.

bigjocker writes "Yahoo is reporting that the ban to distribute screeners copies will be revoked. The bad news is that only members of the Academy will receive them." It's still unclear how this will affect events such as the Golden Globe awards. According to the article, several critics' organisations have yet to decide their reaction. I'm guessing that at the least, Academy members are pleased to know they won't have to find a theatre to screen award nominees.

    OK, fess up, how many people here have movies that occationally have the subtitle "for your consideration" pop up on them? I know my first copy of The Two Towers did. Granted I bought it as soon as it came out and I will buy the extended edition as well, so I have trouble feeling like an evil pirate (arrrr).

    The point is, where do you think these movies are getting leaked from? :)
