One day before the Oscars ceremony finally took place, one budding nominee was likely very excited waiting patiently to attend the prestigious ceremony.
Unfortunately, though, it was not to be, as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts has rescinded Greg P. Russell’s Sound Mixing nomination for 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi.
Academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs added: “The Board of Governors’ decision to rescind Mr. Russell’s nomination was made after careful consideration.
“The Academy takes very seriously the Oscars voting process and anything—no matter how well-intentioned – that may undermine the integrity of that process.”
