I will not be going solely by IMDb release dates because they are not always correct. For instance, the QT-inspired DEATH RANCH was released on Amazon VOD and Blu-ray today, but IMDb lists it as having opened in the USA on April 10, 2020, with no other info.

17/04/2021

If you have a link showing that a movie was released to VOD in 2021, it's eligible for the Spencers. IMDb no longer is no longer the best or most accurate source for release data.

Movies premiering on streamers with ads? Should they be eligible if you see a screener that has no ads?

09/04/2021

Guess I should state this: the awards will voted on in March of 2022 for the Academy year of March 2021 through December 2021. Sorry if there was any misunderstanding.

Thanks to all the folks who have joined the Spencer Memorial Awards as voters. It's a fine lineup already and I hope to gather a dozen or so more folks in time.

05/04/2021

This week I’ll be manually inviting both former voters of The Muriel Awards and others to vote in the Spencer Memorial Awards. I’d like to have a relatively small but diverse voting body.

04/04/2021

01/04/2021

In the next few weeks I will be reaching out to former The Muriel Awards members to gauge their interest in becoming voters here. Again, all are welcome to join up and I hope many of them do!

29/03/2021

Any and all The Muriel Awards voters are welcome to join the Spencer Memorial Awards voting body. It will be a simple affair with only six categories and a probable voting deadline of March 1, 2022.

27/03/2021

The Spencer Memorial Awards are now accepting applications for new voters. I'd like the voting body to be relatively small but diverse. If interested feel free to send a message through Facebook or the Spencer Memorial Awards website. https://thespencerawards.wordpress.com
