The Academy chose to nominate the movie for Best Live-Action Short Film, and Fergus is not happy about the situation.
James Bulger’s mother, Denise Fergus, is “disgusted” that the Academy chose to nominate Detainment for a Short Film Oscar.
The Academy released the Oscar nominations earlier this week and Detainment was included after Denise Fergus started a petition to remove the movie from the shortlist.
Many have noticed that up until a few weeks ago, Lambe was still using a James Bulger hashtag to promote Detainment.
