That machine is giving Academy voters the full-court press for "In the Bedroom," touting the film for Best Picture and its stars -- Wilkinson and Sissy Spacek -- for Best Actor and Actress for their performances as grieving parents whose relationship is coming apart at the seams in the wake of their son's murder.
