Ladies And Gentlemen... (1 Viewer)

[Silverstone]

....The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have annouced the names of Actors, writers, directors, etc who have been invited to become members of the Academy.

You become a member if they feel you have made a significant contribution to film, and automatically if you have an oscar nomination. Sean Penn who has been nommed 3 times before this has declined the invitation each time for his anti-awards views, but since he attended the ceremony this year...he could be very well accepting it.

Keisha Castle Hughes, if accepting the oppertunity, will then be the youngest voting member - surpassing Haley Joel Osment

NOTE! SOFIA COPPOLA HAS BEEN INVITED BY DIRECTORS AND WRITERS UNION, FOR BEING NOMINATED FOR BOTH - BUT DUE TO ACADEMY REGULATIONS, SHE CAN ONLY VOTE IN ONE OF THOSE. INTERESTING HOW, THAT EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS NOMINATED AS A PRODUCER FOR "LOST IN TRANSLATION" SHE ISNT INVITED TO VOTE FOR BEST PICTURE!

Um, they must already be members.

The Academy each year invites NON MEMBERS who they feel are worthy (like i said - by way of nomination or felt to have significant contribution to film but go without a nomination like Steve Martin).

This is the new batch to POSSIBLY join that the academy is inviting.

Other nominees this year probably are members.

 

[Persephone87]

Scarlett Johansson!

 

[astro]

how film contributors are members of the academy

 

[Loz#1]

Oh and I missed Maggie Gyllenhaal. Wow, that's cool.

 

[my sharona]

sofia coppola

not just for 'lost in translation', don't forget 'the virgin suicides'... or the fact she was the first female director to be nominated for an academy award... and her legendary director family...

 

[Silverstone]

Of Course!

And She wasnt the first female director...AND SHAME! There was an Aussie Film Director JANE CAMPION (meh, NZ-ish too, but BLAH!) for The Piano and a german woman!

Sofia was the first AMERICAN female director.

SHe was the first woman to be nominated for Director and Picture

and First woman to be nominated for more than 2 Oscars - 3! Writing, Directing, Producing! HUZZAH!
