The short film award rarely gets attention and the people who make them don't go on to achieve success purely for it.

There's no such thing as bad publicity in situations, the only thing she's achieved in doing now is getting a lot more people to watch the film then they would have if she didn't say anything. If anything, her actions are probably gonna benefit the film's chances because now there's a narrative going on in an award that nobody pays attention to and the academy loves a good award narrative.

She could have done more damage to the film by staying silent. All she's achieved by speaking out is increase it's chances of winning.
