He replied within a week with a check.” (The Guardian 2/24/11) (LA TImes 2/19/12) (HollywoodReporter 9/7/2016) (HollywoodReporter 10/11/2017) (TheDailyBeast.com 5/3/2018) (HollywoodReporter.com 5/9/2018)

Fascinating stuff! Loving your work! Interesting that every nominee isn't invited. And a damn good thing that Rob Schneider has never been and I hope it stays that way. I wonder if Oscar winning Eminem is a voter. Not sure why I'm just curious.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pete. I'm not much of a Schneider fan myself, but if he ever does a "serious" film then I can see them letting him in based upon pure volume alone.
DeleteGreat question about Eminem. I did a quick search and can't seem to find anything definitive yet. Part of the challenge is that he won a full year before they started making their invitees public, so it is hard to guess. On the one hand, he won, which you would think should automatically qualify you, but on the other hand the Academy has been on such a kick to try to prove how young and hip they are, that if they had actually invited him you would think they would have publicized it better. While his music has been used in lots of films, it may be that 8 Mile is one of the few where it was actually written specifically for the film, so it is possible that they didn't think he had enough screen credits -- the same problem as the younger nominees above. I'll keep researching, and may add him to this page if I can't find anything. Thanks for the tip!
Great article and that answers my doubt on why Woody Allen was absent in most award shows.Thank God Taylor Lautner doesnt get invited and I hope that remains the same forever.That guy really cant act.However Kristen Stewart is deserving.She is a good actress and I really love her work outside Twillight and the oscar nominees that you mentioned especially Abigail definitely deserves an invitation to the club.

ReplyDeleteThanks! It wouldn't surprise me at all if the Twilight stars eventually became members--Remember that they are all pretty young by Academy standards. Stewart's projects do make it seem like she might be the first one in--especially with both On The Road and Snow White And The Huntsman this year.
DeleteGreat post! I see this project is off to a good start. Looking forward to seeing what else you unearth in the process!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I suspect that this non-members page may grow over time, as I learn more about how the Academy's invitations happen.
