A producer on the movie Crash who was not credited when the film won an Oscar, has lost his legal battle with the organisers.
Bob Yari, who managed the financing of the film, sued the Producers Guild of America and the Academy Awards team after missing out on honours when it won best picture in March.
Six people, including Yari, were named as producers in the film credits, but only two - Paul Haggis and Cathy Schulman - were named at the Oscars. Patty Glaser, a solicitor for Yari, said of his client that he "always felt he's right on the merits of the case".
His case has been dismissed by a Superior Court judge in Los Angeles.
