In a key procedural shift, Academy members are now required to view all nominated films within a category to be eligible to vote in the final round. While it’s surprising this wasn’t already a formal requirement, questions remain about how the Academy plans to verify compliance and enforce the rule.
In my naive youth, I used to wonder how certain movies would win awards, and part of me asked, did the judges even watch the films?
Glad to see that confirmed.
And no, the new rule is not enforceable -- short of requiring Academy members to view all the nominated films together for accountability -- so it will not be enforced.
yawn…. haven’t watch a hand me a trophy award show in 30 or 40 years.
Yeah, not surprised.
