CHICAGO – The Chicago Film Critics Association has suspended its 2003 awards to protest a ban on the distribution of “screener” videotapes to most awards groups. The Motion Picture Association of America banned all screeners Sept. 30 to fight movie piracy. The MPAA later decided to allow videotapes for the approximately 5,600 Academy Awards voters, but not other groups that hand out lesser honors. [More]
