Yet, actors are continually lobbying for the win.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Saturday that it has revoked the Oscar nomination for one of the sound mixers on “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi” for violating campaigning rules, one day before the Academy Awards ceremony.
The academy said in a statement that Greg P. Russell called fellow sound mixers during the nominations phase to “make them aware of his work on the film, in direct violation of a campaign regulation that prohibits telephone lobbying.”
