Again, the film did NOT open in US theaters. What was the point of the Oscars changing the rules if they can just let this one slide? Now watch a few other films try this tactic. If you remember, this past May, the Academy announced its reversion to pre-pandemic rules that required one-week theatrical runs in one of six American cities. Searchlight somehow found a limp loophole excuse by telling the Academy it had made its release plans based on pandemic rules, not knowing how the theatrical world would shake out. That just sounds like a total lie. Regardless, the Academy took the bait. Searchlight actually found a way to get Emma Thompson back in contention. You can now re-add her to your Best Actress predictions. Contribute Hire me
