This is where Oscar season gets ugly.
As I wrote earlier today the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences put out a statement in which they said they were “conducting a review of the campaign procedures around this year’s nominees” , but did not mention any specific film or campaign that drove them to deliver this rather vague release. Here it is again:
It is the Academy’s goal to ensure that the Awards competition is conducted in a fair and ethical manner, and we are committed to ensuring an inclusive awards process. We are conducting a review of the campaign procedures around this year’s nominees, to ensure that no guidelines were violated, and to inform us whether changes to the guidelines may be needed in a new era of social media and digital communication. We have confidence in the integrity of our nomination and voting procedures, and support genuine grassroots campaigns for outstanding performances.
I chose not to put words in the Academy’s mouth in our headline (Academy “Conducting Review Of Campaign Procedures” Days After Oscar Noms Revealed), but every other trade did. Maybe they got more hits because of it. Unfortunately some people only read headlines and jump to conclusions.
Here is a sample: Academy Investigates Oscar Campaign Process Related To Andrea Riseborough ‘To Leslie’ Nomination
OR Academy Conducting Review After Andrea Riseborough’s Surprise Oscar Nomination
OR Film Academy “Conducting A Review” Amid Questions About Andrea Riseborough Campaign
OR AMPAS To Review Oscars Campaign Procedures In Wake Of Surprise ‘To Leslie’ Nomination
So though the Academy didn’t say they were doing it for that reason, the click bait headlines tell us what they really meant. And it may well be what they meant,
