A column chronicling conversations and events on the awards circuit.
Oscar season has begun!
It is acting like the battle of the Academy viewing portals as final Emmy voting begins.

Additionally like everyone else, I will vote on the 15 general program categories open to the entire membership.
What is great is that the Academy has provided simple viewing options on its portal for all of it.
Six episodes each are provided for the eight Drama and eight Comedy series nominees.

(L-R) ‘Succession,’ ‘The Last Of Us’ and ‘The White Lotus.’HBO
Limited or Anthology haveallepisodes available and ready on the members ballot.
For most of the other categories, it is the individual nominated episodes that are provided.
His episode chosen is one where he talked about museums.
The Academy certainly gives you the opportunity and no excuses not to do it.

It aint free for distributors, though.
Nine films are the first this year to join the portal.
They are below in this screenshot:
