Award season 2024: Worst and Best - The Razzies and The Oscars

[Susan Foreman]

Yes, I *know* it's hideously early, and the MODS are going to be wringing their hands in anger, but... changes are being made to the way that the Oscars are awarded

"...any pictures that are in the running for a nomination must abide by a few rules — namely, they must run for an extended theatrical release. Essentially, this means that the movie in question will need to run for longer than the one-week qualifying run in the US, they will now need to run for another seven days.

The additional seven day run can be non-consecutive, but it has to be no later than 45 days after the initial release. It also has to be in ten of the 50 US markets.

However, if the film has a late run (after January 10), then distributors will have to provide the Academy with their release plans to qualify for that year’s awards. These still have to contain an extended theatrical run plan."

Therefore, only films that have been released to the cinema for at least two weeks will be eligible for nomination. Any films made for streaming services or television screening will not be considered

Russell Crowe was great in The Pope's Exorcist.

[Demoncrat]

Landslide for that Exorcist surely. It's unforgiveable that one.
