Someone might want to send the bomb squad over to The Hurt Locker HQ. Nicolas Chartier, one of four producers of the Best Picture nominee, was scolded by the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences last week for sending out anti-Avatar e-mails to Academy voters, and now he has been officially banned from attending the Oscars ceremony this Sunday. As CNN reports, the e-mails urged voters not to cast their ballot for "a $500 million film" and to instead rank The Hurt Locker first and Avatar tenth, a violation of Academy rules. If The Hurt Locker beats out fellow frontrunner Avatar Sunday night, Chartier will still get his statue, but he will sadly never know the bouquet of the commingled pit-sweat of Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin. The other producers of The Hurt Locker—including the film's director, Kathryn Bigelow, also up for Best Director—will be allowed to attend the ceremony (and bask in that nutty, comedic musk).
