The problem is, by making the Academy Awards about more than just who gave the year's best performance, or just raising that perception--whether it's based on race, factual fudging, or bullying a British TV director--it's possible that the Hollywood spin-meisters will turn all of the nominees into losers. "At some point the Academy or the studios themselves are going to have to put a stop to this," says a studio insider.
