Oscar: Gaming The System

Claude Brodesser-Akner and John Horn (of LAT The Envelope) discuss the machinations of the Hollywood awards season at The Business on KCRW in Santa Monica. Also appearing, Jeff Ammer, marketing consulting for Revolution Studios. Unless you're pretty familiar with this stuff this show is very educational.

Rule Of Three

If a movie wins the Oscar for Best Picture only a maximum of three producers may accept the award. This, of course, means that if a movie is nominated for an Oscar a maximum of three people will be listed as producers. If there are four or more people who produced the movie, too bad -- their names will not be listed. Gregg Kilday reports on how this arbitrary rule affects movies like "Little Miss Sunshine" and "The Departed" at THR.
