....

....

Does it...does it have...a uhm.... A US Release Date?

#510

omg

you cant be serious. are you guys serious? it's released sept 18. i thought the point of release dates was to ensure that all of them counted are counted may 1 and onwards in us for sake of consistency.

shit man shit.

#511

it made it to cannes on the 8th of may

so are we really not counting it if he or the movie get awards/noms?

#512

And this is where the whole 'US release date' stuff stands us international people up

it's tricky.

I genuinely don't know. I'm not in charge :P

If it counts it counts, but I didn't see anything about it being released in the US so I just wanted to ask.

#514

too late to change my pick now. RIP dunia.

#515

I would have said something sooner but I thought Everybody Knows.

#517

It doesn't have a release yet, but it may at some point... big name stars, critically acclaimed director... who knows?

#518

[mention]Iron_Dwarf[/mention] is up.

fingers and toes are crossed.

#520

just a reminder... the league begins in 7 days whether the draft is done or not. Technically actor transactions are not allowed until the actor draft is over, however to be fair, if your actor has a film about to open while the draft is still running, you may DROP them before that date if you want to. That actor will remain in a dropped state until the draft is over, and you may not REPLACE them until after the draft.

Also, a reminder that films have Thursday late evening shows as preview screenings and so for a film or actor to be dropped It must be dropped before those screenings begin. That means Wednesday night is typically the deadline.

[mention]Iron_Dwarf[/mention] still has a pick, but time has expired and [mention]Golden[/mention] may leapfrog.

#524

#525

Question: If Lin-Manuel Miranda wins for best Original Song, does that count towards him since he wrote the song or just the movie?

I believe the rules for non-acting categories are always for the movie alone.
