I wouldn't try to put any blame on Jake or Heath, it just don't smell right!!
This was nothing less than a blatant and overly enthusiastic effort by Hollywood insiders, inside L.A., to flout the rules regarding "campaigning" for nominated films - they broke allllll the rules because they saw themselves as a "David" up against a "Goliath," which they were. They really didn't care to observe any of the admonitions written into the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences' Rules for Campaigning for Nominated Films. Upon further investigation and closer scrutiny regarding the acitivites of those who campaigned for "Crash," it is my belief that the choice of "Crash" as Best Picture should be disqualified. I seriously hope 60 minutes, 20/20, Frontline, someone does an investigative report on this. Has a choice for oscar ever been disqualified due to the excessive and extralegal campaigning of its promoters?? Hey, there's got to be a first time for everything!!
