The problem with this system became obvious the first year, since Karl Struss and Charles Rosher were nominated for their work together on Sunrise but three other films shot individually by either Rosher or Struss were also listed as part of the nomination.
Problem s ovim sustavom postao je očigledan već prve godine budući da su Karl Struss i Charles Rosher bili nominirani za svoj rad na Svitanju, ali su i tri druga filma na kojima su radili pojedinačno također bila nominirana.
