I’ll give a few examples.
‘They Shall Not Grow Old’ : the WWI documentary from Peter Jackson, first released in the UK last year but first released in the US this year. Do you count it as a 2018 or 2019 film?
‘High Life’ : first premiered in a film festival last year but had its wide release this year. 2018 or 2019 film?
‘Long Day’s Journey Into Night’ : a Chinese film first released in China last year but released worldwide this year. 2018 or 2019 film?
I have noticed people putting High Life and Long Day’s Journey Into Night for their top 2019 films, while They Shall Not Grow Old for their top 2018 films, so I became quite curious. Are they eligible for the 2019 or 2020 Oscars?
Obviously it doesn’t really matter either way, merely something interesting to note.
