kak122760 Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 I've heard the Academy has said they will never release any of the Oscar shows to DVD. I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of this, and if true if they know why. I just saw the post on the Motion Picture home, and thought wouldn't it be nice if they released these shows and gave all the procedes to the Motion Picture home.

vecchiolarry Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Hi, How stupid....... The Motion Picture Academy should be thinking of ways to supplement their money and prestige. How better to do this than jump on the bandwagon of DVD's. And, how better to educate the public on our collective motion picture culture. AMPAS is high on my 'sh-t list' of stupid and incompetant idiocy. Badly managed, boring old ****, whose meetings end up with minutes that read - "Well, duh!"....... An innovative or novel idea never hit them in their collective ****, where their brains reside. And, it would be nice if they could help contribute to the Motion Picture Home. Great idea.

bansi4 Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 In 1992 there was a VHS video on the market "Oscar's Greatest Moments", presenting unforgettable highlights from the Academy Awards from 1971 to 1991. They were supposed to continue with another video with highlights from 20 years prior to 1971, however it never came out. Perhap's the initial video didn't sell that good.

kak122760 Posted June 19, 2005 Author Share Posted June 19, 2005 Hi Larry and Mongo, Thanks for your feedback. Maybe we should try and take over. I thought I had heard their was supposed to be another Oscar Greatest Moments video. Maybe, it was due to poor sales. I enjoy my copy. Oh well, maybe one of these days.

ayresorchids Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Are these telecasts available anywhere? I mean, could you go to a library/museum/etc. in LA or NY and look at one in its entirety if you wanted to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kak122760 Posted June 21, 2005 Author Share Posted June 21, 2005 You would think the TV museum in New York (can't think of it's name), and the Academy Archives should at least have copies of the shows. But, I've never heard of them available for viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
