From AP: Hollywood implemented an anti-piracy plan Tuesday banning special DVDs and videotapes for Oscar voters, angering champions of smaller movies that have taken home an increasing share of the film industry’s highest honors.

Academy Awards voters will have to catch most of their movies in theaters after the major studios and their trade group, the Motion Picture Association of America, agreed to stop sending “screener” copies to the 5,600 Oscar voters.
