During  brief conversation, he mentioned that he and his crew worked hard to make sure he followed all of the requirements set forth by the Oscars to be nominated, including making sure the movie was in theaters.

There are 15 people on the Committee, and eight of them voted that my video does not qualify even if others thought it did.
