«Breaking News» Short film about the murder of James Bulger will be allowed to compete at the Oscars

A controversial short film about the murder of toddler James Bulger will be allowed to compete at the Oscars.

James' mother, Denise Fergus, had asked for Vincent Lambe's Detainment to be pulled from next month's ceremony after it was nominated in the best live action short category.

Mrs Fergus said she was haunted by some of the imagery in the film, especially reenactments of James being led away by the hand by his killers Jon Venables and Robert Thompson.

Despite her pleas, the Academy has confirmed Detainment will remain in contention.

In a statement, it said: 'The Academy offers its deepest condolences to Ms Fergus and her family. We are deeply moved and saddened by the loss that they have endured, and we take their concerns very seriously.

'Following long-standing foundational principles established to maintain the integrity of the awards, the Academy does not in any way influence the voting process.

'Detainment was voted on by Academy members. When making their choices, each individual applies their own judgment regarding the films' creative, artistic and technical merits.

'We understand that this will not alleviate the pain experienced by the family; however we hope it clarifies the Academy's neutral role in the voting process.'

James Bulger was murdered in 1993 by Robert Thompson and Jon Venables 

Two-year-old James was led away from a Merseyside shopping centre in 1993 - a moment captured on CCTV - by Venables and Thompson who then tortured and killed him.

They were arrested soon after and convicted following a 17-day trial at Preston Crown Court and ordered to be detained at Her Majesty's pleasure, the normal substitute sentence for life imprisonment when the offender is a juvenile.

Trial judge Mr Justice Morland told the pair they had committed a crime of 'unparalleled evil and barbarity'.

Detainment follows the events surrounding the murder, and is comprised of re-enactments based on the transcripts from police interviews with Venables and Thompson.

Lambe said: 'The public opinion at the moment now is that those two boys were simply evil and anybody who says anything different or gives an alternate reason as to why they did it, or tries to understand why they did it, they get criticised for it.

'I think we have the responsibility to try and make sense of what happened.'

The Academy Awards take place in Los Angeles on February 24.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
