p2p news / p2pnet: The movie Crash centres on, "A Brentwood housewife and her DA husband – a Persian store owner – two police detectives, who are also lovers – an African-American television director and his wife, a Mexican locksmith, two car-jackers, a rookie cop and a middle-aged Korean couple" and, "they all live in Los Angeles," says Rolling Stone.

That’s quite a list of characters and naturally the flic’s owner, Lionsgate, wants to see it on the Oscars list so, it’s, "opened a floodgate to send ‘north of 130,000′ screeners of its critically acclaimed Crash to members of the film industry, including all 110,000 members of the Screen Actors Guild and 13,000 members of the Writers Guild in advance of key awards voting," says Daily Variety, as quoted by IMDb.

If ex-MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) boss Jack Valenti was properly dead, he’d be spinning in his grace.

"In addition, it will send out the usual number of screeners to voting members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, the British Academy of Film & TV Arts, and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association," says IMDb.

But, "there is little fear about piracy issues since the movie is already out on DVD."
