Lmao wait they didn’t even have to watch all the nominated entries?
Fuck the Oscar’s yo what a jack off festival
They did have to and always signed under oath that they did, but the Academy never had a way of verifying that
Crash won 3 awards in 2006 including Best Picture and Best Writing
Lol, they need to do a little quiz after the movies. But really though, if you don’t want to watch the movies why are you an academy voter
Well, because reasons.
Today, some members, particularly in the Executive and Marketing and PR branches, simply press play on the Academy app to satisfy the system’s viewing requirement — then mute the audio or switch tabs. “The app only needs to see that you watched it,” says one voter. “It doesn’t know if you’re sitting there.”
That is a requirement that you play the movie.
Not watching all the movies definitely explains a few of the trends in winners over the years.
Make it more annoying. Commercial breaks and an “Are you still watching?”
