Ed Vedder - Academy of Motion Picture Newest Member

Post by monkywrech »

Ed now votes on who gets an Oscar. Maybe Sean Penn will get a directing Oscar to go with his two other acting Oscars now.

Can they vote for anything or just their field?

Ed will fit in perfectly:

"Oscar voters are nearly 94% Caucasian and 77% male, The Times found. Blacks are about 2% of the academy, and Latinos are less than 2%.

Oscar voters have a median age of 62 ... People younger than 50 constitute just 14% of the membership."

So when they awarded Crash best picture, it was a little like the plot of Trading Places.

I know someone who has a vote in the Oscars. It's not as hard as you might think to enter this club. Stay around Hollywood enough, work on enough movies, TV, etc. = something you work on wins big = you a member.

No, I am not. But having attended college with a bunch of "TRF" majors (Television, Radio, Film) I know enough to be dangerous when talking about this stuff.
