THE COMPLETE TEXT OF THE
LOS ANGELES FILM CRITICS ASSOCIATION
"NO SCREENER / NO AWARDS" DECISION

Whereas, the members of the Los Angeles Film Critics Assn. are committed in our annual awards process to a fair and unbiased evaluation of all films theatrically screened in Los Angeles during the year, whatever their budget or production source;

Whereas, the ban on screeners seriously inhibits our ability to work as professionals and compromises the integrity and fairness of the evaluative process;

Therefore, be it resolved that unless there is a timely rescinding of the ban on screeners, LAFCA, with great reluctance, is compelled to cancel this year's voting on awards.
