Say it's like the Oscars. You're eligible for 2019 Academy Awards as long as you meet some (very) minimal theatrical release in the year. Nevermind that most people won't be able to see it for months later, an Oscar nomination will create buzz and demand for tickets. Likewise the Pro1 . . .

And besides, are all the other nominees widely available? Asking for real, because I can't seem to see the rest of the candidates.
