On February 25, 2017, the Academy rescinded the Sound Mixing nomination for Greg P. Russel from "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi":
Upon recommendation by the Sound Branch Executive Committee, the Academy’s Board of Governors voted Thursday (2/23) to rescind the Sound Mixing nomination for Greg P. Russell from “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi” for violation of Academy campaign regulations. The decision was prompted by the discovery that Russell had called his fellow members of the Sound Branch 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. An additional nominee for “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi” will not be named in his place. The remaining Sound Mixing nominees for the film are Gary Summers, Jeffrey J. Haboush and Mac Ruth.
“The Board of Governors’ decision to rescind Mr. Russell’s nomination was made after careful consideration,” said Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs. “The Academy takes very seriously the Oscars voting process and anything – no matter how well-intentioned – that may undermine the integrity of that process.”
The Board determined that Russell’s actions violated a campaign regulation that unequivocally prohibits telephone lobbying. It states that “contacting Academy members by telephone to promote a film or achievement is expressly forbidden, even if such contact is in the guise of checking to make sure a screener or other mailing was received.”

I had a mixed feeling about this year's nominees for the Academy Awards. First off there after reading the nosiness, one thing came to mind, no #OscarSoWhite. I noticed that two movies i didn't like; "Passengers" and " Allied" are nominated. I didn't like "Deadpool" and I'm glad that the film didn't get one nomination. I saw all nine Oscar nominations for Best Picture. all nine. It was one of a few times that i had seen all nine best picture nomination before the nominations were announced. I only wish that Kate Beckinsale got nominated for "Love and Friendship" instead of Meryl Streep. Don't get me wrong, I glad that she stood up to Donald Trump at the Golden Globe awards, but I didn't like "Florence Foster Jenkins" or her performance. I'm glad that Isabelle Huppert got nominated for "Elle." That will get me a chance to watch the movie. I like to make a suggestion for Best Animated film, How about expanded the category from five to eight or nine, so that more films will be nominated. Two of the five nominees I haven't saw yet. Also we need to expand Best Make Up and Hairstyle to get more nominations. finally I like to see the category be expanded to ten even as high as 16 to get in more nominees for Best Picture. I'll bee seeing the Academy Awards on Febuaray 26th. I beenwatching the show every year since 1978 and It's an annual ritual for me and I'm enjoying it very much.
