HD DVD folk are (not) seeing red.

Wow, only one major nomination, and one sub-major (writing). And United 93 isn't nominated as best film.

The disaster for Universal continues.

WOW just WOW

Most of the short films do not have a distributor or do not have big studio to distribute it. The same goes for documentary.

What I highlighted in red is for Universal only as it is a HD-DVD exclusive for now. The rest of the stuff is going to be released on BD eventually.

What I want is Deci and others to convince Picture House to release Pan's Labyrinth on BD sometime later this year. The rest of the movies have their own big studio support.

You have to get to work bringing Water to Blu-ray!
