NBR Delays: The Press Release

Tuesday, December 06, 2005

Dear Journalists, Editors, Marketing and Publicity representatives --

Due to an incomplete eligibility mailing to the National Board of Review screening committee, and in fairness to all eligible films, filmmakers and actors, the NBR is postponing its Awards announcement until Monday morning, December 12th.

In consideration of the incomplete nature of the 2005 eligibility list and with apologies, NBR screening committee members have been asked to disregard the previously sent eligibility list and to review the complete list of screened films. Each film, each director and each performer is eligible in all categories. NBR screening committee members will receive and submit new ballots considering all 2005 qualified films, directors and performers.

We are sorry for the inadvertent omissions and the delay in announcing the 2005 National Board of Review of Motion Pictures Awards.

Sincerely,

Gary Springer

Press Representative for the NBR

And...

Earlier... Roger Friedman, breaking news on the problems that led to this.
