As the Oscars drew near, the backlash against "The Deer Hunter" gathered strength. When the limos pulled up to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion on April 9, 1979, they were met by demonstrators, mostly from the Los Angeles chapter of Vietnam Veterans Against the War. The demonstrators waved placards covered with slogans that read "No Oscars for racism" and ""The Deer Hunter" a bloody lie" and thrust pamphlets berating "Deer Hunter" into long lines of limousine windows. Washburn, nominated for Best Original Screenplay, claims his limousine was pelted with stones. According to "Variety", "Police and "The Deer Hunter" protesters clashed in a brief but bloody battle that resulted in 13 arrests."
