http://www.bowiewonderworld.com David Bowie Fan Site News Copyright 2010 BowieWonderworld en-us http://blog.manmademovies.co.uk/rockwell-oscar/ We are all rather stunned that Sony decided not to send out screeners DVDs to the 5,777 Academy Award voters. Therefore, we are trying to drum up as much interest in MOON and SAM ROCKWELL's performance as possible in the hope that it will encourage voters to get hold of a copy and consider nominating Sam in the best actor category. We've had a large response and signatures to petition in the last couple of days with support coming from Jim Jarmusch, Neil Gaiman, Jon Favreau to name a few. So, if you've seen MOON and think Sam deserves at least a chance with a nomination, PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION, and do whatever you can to plug and support. We only have until Saturday 23rd JANUARY deadline for return of voting ballots, so not long at all really. http://www.bowiewonderworld.com/bowienews/news.htm#samrockwelloscar http://www.bowiewonderworld.com/bowienews/news.htm#manimal The LA-based MANIMAL label are now scheduling their double CD and vinyl release of THE UNTITLED TRIBUTE TO DAVID BOWIE for May 2010 release.
