Maybe she realized what an absurd request it was. Since Sidney Ganis didn't become president until 2005-25 years after Hitchcock's death, and at least 40 years since his best films, exactly how do you think he'd respond to such a question? I'm guessing some variant of 'how the fuck should I know'-so I assume your friend didn't want to be the instigator of that scenario.

You don't somehow think that posing this question to Sid Ganis will bring about a New Age of Thoughtful Reflection to sweep over the Oscar selection process-do you?

If you really want to learn the answer to your query, I'm pretty sure you're smart enough, with just a bit of research into how the Academy picks winners, to come up with a reason as plausible as any Ganis could come up with. And it will be a lot closer to the truth than anything the president of the Academy would tell you.
