STUDIO FIGHT: EXECS PREFER 'BROKEBACK' OVER 'MUNICH'; SPIELBERG SAID DISPLEASED, SAY SOURCES
**Exclusive**
As the first wave of Oscar voting closes, a sibling rivalry between films at UNIVERSAL has turned sour .
The enthusiastic backing of BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN by UNIVERSAL chief Stacey Snider has come at the expense of MUNICH, a top source involved with the Steven Spielberg drama tells the DRUDGE REPORT.
"Stacey and her team believe BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN is their winner this year," claims the well-placed insider. "The movie has been spoiled, spolied and spolied again, with endless promotion and support. MUNICH, on the other hand, has been horribly neglected. Steven has been thrown in the backseat."
