Sony Pictures chairwoman Amy Pascal appears to have had enough of the accusations that "Zero Dark Thirty" advocates torture. Likely prompted by Academy member David Clennon's assertion "I will not be voting for Zero Dark Thirty - in any Academy Awards category" from a post on Truth-Out.org, Pascal released a statement with her opinion on the matter.

2013 Oscar Nominations Final Predictions
HitFix's pundits make their final choices
We're halfway there. Well, we're halfway there as of Thursday morning.
Seth MacFarlane and Emma "already hunting for an Oscar" Stone will announce the nominations for the 85th Academy Awards at the crack of dawn. "Lincoln," "Zero Dark Thirty," "Les Miserables," "Life of Pi" and "Argo" should all be rewarded with a slew of nominations. The rest? Needless to say, there are some nervous potential nominees and consultants today. With that in mind, Kris Tapley, Guy Lodge and I have made our final (and we mean final) nominations predictions which you can compare in the gallery story below. Some intriguing observations:
'Twilight: Breaking Dawn - Part 2' tops 2013 Razzies with 11 nominations
'Battleship,' Sandler's 'That's My Boy' also garner multiple nods
Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson in "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2," which led all Razzie nominees this year with 11 nods including Worst Picture and, yes, Worst Screen Couple.
If you're reading this, you may be among the millions of otherwise level-headed individuals who are convinced that the "Twilight" series is one of the greatest achievements in the history of cinema. Enter the Razzie nominating committee, who are here to tell you that you're wrong.
Whose Oscar nomination dreams are on the bubble?
'Skyfall,' Quvenzhané Wallis, 'The Intouchables,' Maggie Smith and more
There are only a few days until the nominations are announced for the 85th Academy Awards and you can feel the tension in the air from the 405 to the 101. Potential nominees, Oscar consultants and studio execs all have something on the line whether it's prestige, their reputation or a marketable number of nominations to help a prestige flick get into the black. And for those that care too much this is likely the most nerve wracking week of the entire season. For awards fans? It's close to heaven.
'Argo,' Sally Field and Helen Mirren highlight Palm Springs Film Festival Awards Gala
Cringe Alert: Mary Hart makes the audience sing happy birthday to Bradley Cooper
Mary Hart insists on leading David O. Russell and the audience in singing happy birthday to Bradley Cooper.
PALM SPRINGS - The talking points are getting a little repetitive, but some of the biggest players of the 2013 awards season charmed a packed Palm Springs Convention Center Saturday night for the Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala. And, shockingly, longtime veterans of the event said 10-time host Mary Hart wasn't as bad hokey as she'd been during previous ceremonies. That's a scarier thought than anything on display in "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D" this weekend, but I digress…
