Love it or hate it, I'm sure that all of us will watch the next Oscars (again).They've moved the show up by one month. Harvey Weinstein at Marimax has said that this change will only disadvantage the smaller films, which often require more time to build up interest. (I suppose that one could always release a film a little earlier, but then, they're subject to being overshadowed by big studio films released later in the year.)

Moving the awards up one month is going to have a big effect on the nomination proccess.It will also tighten the window for final voting I suspect. I can't see this helping academy members in making better choices although I don't see it hurting the chances of independant films.

the awards to movies that deserve it. Only a few each year actually do. 99% of it is trash.Haven't watched them in about 7 years.
I hear they also plan to have a portion of the show from NY. The Academy announcing that they want to "help NY recover from 9/11". Thats 9/11 2001 BTW. This being nearly a year later, do they think a few extra hotel nights and restaurant meals from Academy Award participents will save NY's bacon ? What a joke, talk about being self obsessed.
