It’s almost the close of the year, folks, and to that end, the grand train of pretentious wackjobs handing little gold statuettes to OTHER pretentious wackjobs that’s also known as Oscar Season is almost upon us. And to that end, most every studio in town is frantically sending out screeners to everybody and their mother to try and get votes together to get the prizes.
Most every studio, of course…except for one:
Miramax.
Dig the word:
Disney’s indie distributor has been limping to an early grave for months now and today they announced that due to their uncertain future they’re raising the white flag on this year’s Oscar game. They won’t be able to send screeners to regional critics and the few major awards voters they do send them to will only get Adventureland and Everybody’s Fine….
This should produce an audible gulp from everyone who follows the industry…if Miramax isn’t willing to dance, they’ve pretty much destroyed their indie cred. There’s pretty much no chance that Adventureland and Everybody’s Fine will win any serious awards, so Miramax will have no showing to speak of.
Sounds like another nail getting pounded into Miramax’s coffin.
