"In the event that the Academy -- an association that includes multiple competitors in its membership -- establishes certain eligibility requirements for the Oscars that eliminate competition without procompetitive justification, such conduct may raise antitrust concerns," Makan Delrahim, the chief of the DOJ's antitrust division, reportedly wrote.

The Academy acknowledged receipt of the letter but said little beyond that.
