OSCAR WATCH: The Hurt Locker Scandal

There has been a huge scandal in the Oscar race with one of the producers of "The Hurt Locker" sending a mass email, basically begging members to vote for "the small, indie film" rather than "the $500 million film". This was obviously a violation of the rules and the Academy has decided to ban the producer (Nicolas Chatrier) from attending the Oscar ceremony. Will this be enough to deter "The Hurt Locker" from winning the big prize on Oscar night? Only time will tell.
