God forbid they nominate a song because it's good - not because it's from a hit film. F***!

Broughton is an exceptional composer. Other powerful academic send DVDs for your consideration and they are not disqualified. Broughton sent emails and he has been. Hypocrisy

This is a shameful decision, not worthy of such an instituion. It should be reversed and an fulsome apology offered to Mr. Broughton.

This is an unacceptable move by the Academy if it's true all Mr. Broughton did was to send emails trying to promote his work. Isn't that what the "for your consideration" campaign is all about?

This decision makes you appear corrupt. Please rescind your decision and apologise publicly to Mr Broughton.

We all know that politics and favortisim are staples of Hollywood like most places, but it still doesn't excuse this type of thing if it isn't applied evenly and fairly across the board.

Apparently you can run 200 "for your consideration" billboards up and down sunset blvd., but one email is a big no no. Academy rules do not prohibit sending emails or even the more aggressive "for your consideration". Academy rules only apply when convenient, for the academy.
