[NE] Nomination Elim Game ('79- OSCARGUY)
A question, I don't know if it's been addressed: how are we to determine year of release for foreign films or long-delayed projects? When I compile my Oscar Shoulda-beens, I just go by the initial year listed at IMDb, regardless of when it was released in the U.S.
Two examples come to mind: first is Army of Shadows, which is technically a 1969 release, but wasn't shown in the U.S. until 2006; then there's White Dog, which is technically a 1982 film, but, aside from some film festival showings, has never had a commercial release in the U.S.

Here are two options for calling a year finished. What do you guys think? If all nominees in all categories have been Preserved, the game ends even if there are additions left to be made. OR You can pass your turn on to the next player if you are unable or unwilling to make further changes. Until all players pass, the game year continues.
Also, since it's clear that Sound Recording may end up unfinished (simply because of our three-turn rule), you do not have to make all three changes and can pass one or two of them if necessary. Then, dependenent on the above, you may be able to pass all three.

Hate to do this to you, Flipp, but you can't make two changes in Best Picture. You have to make your three selections in three different categories.
