Changes in awards-campaign policy have divided Hollywood's trade unions, pitted art-house distributors against their big-studio owners and left organizers of other movie honors feeling like Oscar's poor relations Studios spend millions of dollars on advertising and events to boost a single film's awards prospects, tactics the academy finds distasteful "With some of these things, the only opportunity to see them is on a screener 29, with other awards shifting to earlier dates to follow suit " Withholding home-video screeners will make it difficult for members of SAG's 2,100-member nominating committee to see all potential contenders for its awards, Gilbert said SAG presents its awards Feb It was only when the studios started getting their (butts) kicked at the Oscars that the piracy flag was raised in our face " Through their trade group, the Motion Picture Association of America, the top seven studios implemented a complete ban on screeners Sept "Piracy has been an issue for 20 years, since the full-fledged advent of video," Baldwin said "I cannot believe these people think we're pirating our own work "It's not like the home-entertainment nexus was burst 18 months ago New academy standards forbid Oscar-season parties intended to influence academy voters, ads that include endorsements from academy members, and smear campaigns against particular films Compounding matters, the upcoming awards season is shorter because Oscar organizers moved their ceremony from late March to Feb 30, claiming the DVDs and videotapes contributed to movie piracy Some say the screener ban is not a piracy matter but a strong-arm tactic by studios embarrassed that their big-budget spectacles have lost ground to independent films The academy moved up its ceremony hoping to rejuvenate a show whose TV ratings have slipped in recent years We spend our lives being rejected Since the advent of awards screeners in the last 10 to 15 years, smaller films have won an increasing share of Oscars A fury of opposition from awards voters prompted MPAA and the studios to lift part of the ban, allowing screeners for Oscar voters but not those who hand out other honors such as the Golden Globes, the Screen Actors Guild awards or critics prizes The British Academy of Film and Television and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association oppose the screener ban, as do critics groups whose film honors often call Oscar voters' attention to obscure films they otherwise might not have seen 22, a week before the Oscars "That is the worst thing you can do to actors "We knew this decision was not going to satisfy everybody, but there's going to be ample opportunity for people who want to see these movies to see them," Valenti said Hollywood had been adjusting to the shorter season and stricter awards rules when the screener issue hit and quickly overshadowed those earlier changes We don't need more of it, especially from our employers," said SAG President Melissa Gilbert Trade unions and other Hollywood groups are divided on the issue The Directors Guild of America and Writers Guild of America support the plan to allow screeners only for academy members, saying they prefer that awards voters see movies as the filmmakers intended on the big screen, rather than reduced to small TV images The deal â€â€? which permits only VHS tapes, not DVDs â€â€? requires members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to sign an anti-piracy pledge "There was a sense people might not be quite as tired about who was nominated for this award and who won that prize if our show came earlier, so our news is a little fresher," said Bruce Davis, academy executive director That leaves voters with three weeks less time to catch the films The big adjustment: A studio crackdown on "academy screeners" â€â€? special videotapes and DVDs for awards voters, a convenience that has allowed Hollywood types to watch Oscar contenders in their own living rooms rather than a theater or private screening room That's where the real melodrama lies this Oscar season MPAA President Jack Valenti said studios are adding theater screenings for awards voters to compensate for the screener ban Hollywood professionals say the issue has been a slap in the face, a message that only the Academy Awards elite membership of 5,800 can be trusted to keep screeners out of bootleggers' hands "Some of these films don't last very long in theaters," said actor Alec Baldwin, an academy member who opposes any restrictions on awards screeners The marathon awards season that starts in December has become crowded with movie honors, leaving some viewers burned out by the time the Oscars roll around People have been watching and enjoying and spending billions of dollars on VHS or DVD for decades The move has infuriated many awards voters, generally working stiffs putting in long days, who gripe that they lack time to trudge out to see all the awards contenders on the big screen Oscar Alterations Leave Shorter Season Nov 11, 3:19 PM EST Maybe there should be an Academy Award for behind-the-scenes theatrics " Because of the Oscar date change, February is jam-packed with awards shows that previously had been spread over a two-month span It also allows studios to encode the videos so they can be tracked back to the recipient if they are used to make bootleg copies Also new this season are tougher academy rules to curtail Oscar campaigning Anyone violating the rules could be kicked out of the academy or have their film yanked out of Oscar contention in some categories " 5 on VH1 Nugent is most known for the song "Cat Scratch Fever The two-hour reality event will premiere Oct " Seven daring souls will try to survive Nugent's all-terrain universe for cash and prizes Ted Nugent Gets Reality Show Sep 11, 10:49 AM EST Rocker Ted Nugent is getting into the reality show craze with his own reality show called "Surviving Nugent The seven include a vegan, a gay man, a New Yorker and a sex kitten |
