These contained thousands of jewel-cased DVDs and board-mounted artwork (with submission forms and checks rubber-banded to each). It was, as you might imagine, something of a nightmare to shuffle through this mountain of physical material throughout the show's very extensive nomination, voting and ceremony production processes.
