Film Academy Ends Post-Nomination Oscar Screenings for Members
The Academy cited an average attendance of five members per screening over two years and increased streaming options as reasons for ending post-nomination screenings.
- Announced in the January Academy Bulletin, the organization said it will not rescreen post-nomination films due to low attendance and costs.
- Over the past seven years, attendance has fallen as the Academy Screening Room streaming service expanded, while the Academy historically ran screenings in Los Angeles, the Bay Area, New York and London.
- The Academy said an average of five members attended post-nomination screenings in the last two years, and more than 300 first-run Oscar-qualifying screenings featured nominated and shortlisted films.
- Members and observers asked what will happen to the Academy's large theater now that rescreenings are ending, with some members saying they were outraged and attempted to rally protests, reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
- The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences said the move accompanies recent cuts such as the five archivists laid off weeks ago and the Oscars telecast featuring live performances for only two of the five nominees.
