Well that’s one way to end a dispute: Tonight Cablevision will be offering their subscribers exclusive On Demand movies at no charge, including Academy Award nominees The Hurt Locker and District 9. This of course, is in response to the fact that they won’t be able to show the Oscars themselves, due to a last-minute breakdown in negotiations with ABC.
