Why the Academy Got It Right This Year With Its Invites
It’s always struck me as one of the great ironies about Hollywood that this industry, whose very survival is rooted in the notion of populism, is among the least populist when it comes to its own conduct. From the very beginning, when moguls such as Louis B. Mayer and Darryl F.

Oscars: How the Academy's Rule Changes Will Impact The Next Race (Analysis)
The Oscar-related rule changes announced Friday by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences — in particular, those pertaining to the documentary feature and animated feature categories — received far less media coverage than recent developments regarding the best picture Oscar debacle and envelope-botcher PwC's future with the show.
