Twenty-one Oscar Screeners on the Internet?

Posted by Ernest Miller

Waxy.org has done a little research on the Oscar screeners available on the internet and has found twenty-one of twenty-two films widely considered likely Oscar candidates to be available in screener format on the internet (Researching the 2004 Oscar Screeners). Those who actually rip movies to the internet aren't always entirely truthful about the provenance of their rips, nor is the terminology quite clear. "Screener" in this case could be from one of the tapes or DVDs sent to an Academy voter, or could be ripped from a version sent to advertising agencies, marketing companies, or other industries that need primary access to the film. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if it ultimately turned out that there were at least several more Oscar voting screeners on the internet than the two already acknowledged.
