Unfortunately, I think I'll take the Colourmatch pill as well. It seems to be producing results more accurate to the DVD.

Would the hdtv rip be a better reference than the dvd in this case or not?
No, it's the same master as the DVD, so there shouldn't be any difference in color.
The Academy Awards Screener tape I have strongly resembles the DVD's pallette and I'm pretty sure it's a different telecine. It's pretty low quality though, I have to say.
