Q1. Homer as OMB?

Q2. Three "Supervising Art Directors" and six "Art Directors" are credited in the end credit. Should I enter all of them?

Q3. CoO: UK?
Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures. According to the end credits it's "A United Kingdom - Malta Co-Production". Some web sites report "USA-UK-Malta", others "UK-Malta".

Q1: Yes.
Q2: Yes.
Q3: Not quite sure. I think, its USA - because of Warner Bros. as main production company.

If he's mentioned in the credits, then yes, that's fine.

Edit: Lexxx is right, enter them all.

Sorry - I don't know enough about the production to answer this one, but it looks like a multi-national co-production, so leave it blank.

A1:  Homer did not create the characters.  He was a compiler of verbal traditions told for generations before he was born. 
A2:  No reason not to list all of them as long as they are not co-anything.
A3:  It was a US made movie, on location in the UK and Malta, etc.

1. Depends, is he credited, if so how?

2. I'd say yes on the S.A.D. (presumably someone will disagree), but definitely all six A.D.s as long as none of them are part of second units etc.

3. I tend to go with the end credits in instances such as this, it's the least controvertible source. A simliar example is Phantom of the Opera, it claims to be a UK production in the end credits, and when I submitted this as a sole update to the HD DVD it was voted in and accepted. My choice would be UK, simply because it is mentioned first.

Sorry, I can't find that in the Rules. 

I would rather choose the first Country, just like we list the first three Studios when there are more than three Studios.

I'd go for it. The rule for OMB says Adapted from another medium; the original work is the Iliad, and both it and Homer and referenced; have at it.

Warner Bros Productions, Radiant and Plan B are all US companies, so it looks like it's a US coo.

Fair enough 

What about the Studios?
Should I credit

1. Warner Bros. Pictures
2. Radiant
3. Plan B

OR

1. Warner Bros. Pictures
2. Radiant
3. Warner Home Video




Screen credits show:
Warner Bros. Pictures presents
a Radiant production
in association with Plan B

If I'm reading the rules correctly, production companies take priority over the DVD distributor, so your first list is the right one
