It would be more accurate to say the academy turns it’s nose up at certain genres. Fangoria magazine used to run coverage of certain films under the banner of It’s not a horror film!, complete with a cartoon image of a film producer clutching an Oscar. This was in the wake of Silence of The Lambs, which was well covered by them and other horror mags. I don’t know if the makers of SOTL actively shied away from the horror label, but other filmmakers/studios have since then.
