Oscar voters get 'Half Nelson' and 'Money' DVDs

Academy members say they got two more DVD screeners in the mail today: "Half Nelson" and "Friends with Money." That brings to five the total that the full membership has received so far, including "Little Miss Sunshine," "World Trade Center" and "United 93." Of course, campaign DVDs of "United 93" are everywhere in Hollywood right now, although I was mightily surprised the other day that I didn't automatically get one with my latte at the Starbucks at Sunset and Gower.
Hopefully this will be beneficial to these movies. But don't you think that with all the buzz around certain movies like Dreamgirls and Flags that this will even put these movies up for any consideration?

Fingers crossed for both films. Shareeka Epps and Ryan Gosling of "Half Nelson" and Nicole Holofcener's screenplay for "Friends with Money" deserve awards season attention.
