In the early days of this Oscar season, there were all sorts of intriguing scandals, whether it had to do with Tobey Maguire's Blu-ray generosity or Mo'nique's innocent inquiries on the ability of a little gold man to affect her bottom line. Now, though, we'll have to make do with a misstep from The Hurt Locker co-producer Nicolas Chartier, who's in hot water for sending out a rule-violating email bashing Avatar: "If everyone tells one or two of their friends, we will win and not a $500M film, we need independent movies to win like the movies you and I do, so if you believe The Hurt Locker is the best movie of 2010, help us!" The Hurt Locker awards campaign: officially spazzing out. [Gold Derby]

    It will be interesting to find out how many voters who were going to choose "Hurt Locker" will now switch their vote to that charming little Sandra Bullock film, even though it means we'll have to endure her bringing that ruffian of a husband to the ceremony.
