2007-8 Academy Screeners and other freebies
received
For the current year's Academy
screeners (2015-16) click here.
Note: None of these screeners
are for sale...so don't even ask. I'm providing this list
solely for the purpose of showing which movies the studios are
interested in pushing for the best picture Oscar. The
Academy and the studios expressly forbid the sale, transfer or
duplication of these videos; and I gladly accept those
conditions. I'm pleased to get these
videos for reference purposes; but as far as
I am concerned nothing can compare with actually viewing the
films in theaters or screening rooms. I watch very
few movies solely on video every year.
[Note: These first 3 screeners
were received from United Parcel (dated
9/4) while I was in Toronto, so I can't say for sure that this is the
correct receipt date.]

[Note: This year the studios have
apparently decided to send all screeners in
thin cardboard, practically unadorned, cases. This policy
may be due to the Academy's edict eliminating screener
advertising. In any case, the screeners take up a lot less room,
which is nice; but they also tend to get lost in the shuffle without
their jewel cases.]

[Note:
Apparently the Academy's restriction on sending out music CD mailers
has caused the studios to use other means to reach Academy
members. This year the Hollywood Reporter is being sent to
Academy members (at least if I am representative) as a freebie, and
with it the occasional music CD enclosed in the magazin
