Wow did Anora winning really cause this rule change?
Cause I believe it
Why would anora winning cause it?
As a fan of the international features category, I really hope this helps some of the less-widely-distributed films get wider release.

Why wasn’t this a rule from the beginning?
-
What prompted them to finally change that?
They had no way to track that when they sent out copies of the films now it is a streaming site.

Didnt know that wasnt a rule, weird.
Before the streaming site it would be impossible to track
They could ask for the movie tickets as a proof.
Or make them take a quiz!
A lot of Oscar nominated films don’t get theatrical releases to enough theaters for to make that possible. Screener copies have historically been sent as DVDs with individually coded embedded tracking metadata.
