Same for Still: A Michael J. Fox Story it seems . . . despite vague reports of a "theatrical release" just prior to the streaming drop date, neither Wikipedia or a search of newspaper archives shows anything more than an online premiere. Best to call Hulu and Apple TV for confirmation.
On Flaming Hot: the best source I can find about it getting an awards qualifying run is one of the Variety pundits saying that it did, in Burbank, but not further elaboration
It must have, per Oscar rules, played SOMEWHERE for one week but like you, I can't find a primary source since sites like Fandango don't maintain a publicly available historical record of showtimes. Disney put Turning Red into a theater in NY (the Times Square AMC) for one week without any promotion or fanfare. It's possible that for Flaming Hot... No one noticed or it was running in the most obscure theater possible. Maybe if you contact every theater in Burbank... Could be a good work of fun reportage if everyone says they didn't show it.
