Variety are reporting that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences’ board of governors has lifted their ban on movie advertising during the Academy Awards telecast. The ban was originally put in place to prevent fears of vote rigging.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has been mentioned as being placed into one of these slots, but this spot isn’t guaranteed, especially since distributers are only allowed one film to advertise, which means Paramount would have to decide between ROTF, Gi Joe or Star Trek.
