The committee's inquiry covered whether the filmmakers had been given "inappropriate" access to sensitive materials by the CIA. The inquiry followed a letter by several senators, including committee head Diane Feinstein and committee member John McCain, that detailed their concerns that the film "has the potential to shape American public opinion in a disturbing and misleading manner." With Zero Dark Thirty leaving Sunday night's Oscars with no major awards, the Senate Intelligence Committee appears uninterested in drawing further attention to the film.
