Mona Lisa Smile oscar promo

I recently got the Mona Lisa Smile oscar promo, but I'm not sure if it's the real thing: The inlay looks original although easy to fake, but the CD is a CD-R (dark green) with the title printed on the silver top side in a way I've only seen on selfmade ones so far. Although these things aren't unusual for a promo they aren't unusual for fakes as well. So was this promo CD released that way or as a manufactured disc?

Thanks for your help.

I have several oscar promo's and got them from reliable sources, but a few of them are indeed recorded on cd-r's, you have to understand to make a run of original factory printed cd's is a very expensive thing, that is the mean reason ofcourse.
as far as for your cd it could be a genuine product though!
I hope this helps you a bit!

This promo is to knowledge a printed cdr. I can confirm what klopijtz just said before me.

I am afraid, but you have bought a fake. I have got two oscar promos from two different, but serious sources. Both are pressed CDs and no CDRs. Both CDs have the prints in the inner circle: 347 MONALISA 121303. Only these CDs with this are genuine.

Thanks for your answers.
I should have mentioned that I'm referring to the "best score" oscar promo with only the score by Rachel Portman, but I forgot that there might be also a "best song" oscar promo with just songs. If that's the case I wouldn't even be surprised if the songs got a better treatment than the score and were put on a factory pressed CD while the score was just on a CD-R.
@Droenix:
Are the factory pressed promos you mentioned for "best score" or for "best song"?

Best score not for best song.
