The 82nd Academy Awards going to be held on March 7 in Los Angeles, Deminers, directed by Kathryn Bigelow, is figured favorite for the Oscars 2010.
Nicolas Chartier, a French producer of the film by Kathryn Bigelow, Minesweeper, is sanctioned for violating the rules of the academy by calling Oscar voters prefer his film James Cameron’s Avatar. However, he retains his appointment. If Demineurs still won the Oscar for best film – whose recipients are producers – it will still receive his statuette, but at a later date to the ceremony and not the applause of the audience at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood.
This last week that Nicolas Chartier has set fire to the powder. He had sent an email to members of the academy in which he urged voters to reward his “independent film” and not “a feature film to 500 million dollars.” This transparent reference to Avatar: The big budget film by James Cameron,It was a clear breach of the settlement of the Oscars, which prohibits candidates from campaigning, “to issue a negative or disparaging thoughts about the films in competition,” says the ‘Academy.
Faced with the turmoil caused by his message, Nicolas Chartier acknowledged that his behavior was “inappropriate “.
“My message was inappropriate and alien to the spirit of celebration of cinema that requires this award,” he wrote to catch his mistake. It was a mistake even greater personal and professional, ask you to vote for the film and commenting on another. “He put his blunder on account of his naivety and ignorance of rules . It is the first time he was selected for this great competition of American cinema. Decidedly, Avatar and Minesweeper are endlessly made headlines around the Oscars 2010.
Once the list of nominated films were released in early February, the duel between Avatar and deminers, who are the favorites, had been presented as a kind of reckoning post-marriage between James Cameron and his ex-wife Kathryn Bigelow.
