 Support The DrudgeReport; Visit Our Advertisers  v XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX WED JAN 18, 2005 09:06:32 ET XXXXX STUDIO EXECS PREFER 'BROKEBACK' OVER 'MUNICH'; SPIELBERG SAID DISPLEASED **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 a well-placed insider. "The movie has been spoiled, spoiled and spoiled again, with endless promotion and support. MUNICH, on the other hand, has been horribly neglected. Steven has been thrown in the backseat. It has been painful." Hollywood players watched Spielberg's polite reaction as Ang Lee's controversial western won award after award Sunday evening during the nationally televised GOLDEN GLOBES. But behind the scenes, a quiet anger has developed over the handling of MUNICH during the award season run-up. A UNIVERSAL source strongly denies a BROKEBACK preference at the studio. UNIVERSAL President Ron Meyer is said to be MUNICH's top advocate and supporter. "We are behind the movie 1000%, and strongly believe it has a great shot at winner Oscars," says the studio source.
