    Academy Overhauls Membership, Voting Rules To Promote Oscar Diversity - Variety
    http://variety.com/2016/film/awards/oscars-diversity-academy-emergency-meeting-1201685630/
    The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences has approved a series of major changes, in terms of voting and recruitment, also adding three new seats to the 51-person board — all part of a goal to double the number of women and diverse members of the Academy by 2020.

    The changes were approved by the board Thursday night in an emergency meeting. Also on Thursday, the Academy met with ABC officials and reps of Chris Rock, confirming that he will host the Feb. 28 ceremony, according to sources.

    Beginning later this year, each new member’s voting status will last 10 years, and will be renewed if the new member has been active in film during that decade. In addition, members will receive lifetime voting rights after three 10-year terms; or if they have been nominated for an Academy Award. The Acadamy will apply these same standards retroactively to current members.

    In other words, if a current member has not been active in the last 10 years they can still qualify by meeting the other criteria. Those who do not qualify for active status will be moved to emeritus status. Emeritus members do not pay dues but enjoy all the privileges of membership, except voting. This will not affect voting for this year’s Oscars.

    They had me on their side until they listed "Crash" as an example of the kind of film that might win if they got rid of the run-off voting. Is there a worse feature to have won in the last 20 years? It was idiotic at the time but is only looking worse with each passing year.

    I think I will spare myself all the talk of the academy awards are not fair to non whites, and just not watch them. After all how many straight guys are interested in award shows.

    How many academy awards did my Al Pacino win 1?

    I guess they were not fair to Pacino either.

    The Academy getting things comically wrong (combined "Best Director"/"Best Picture" Oscars for Hitchcock and Kubrick: 0) is a completely separate issue from them ignoring minorities. But I sort of agree that they are merely one of the many symptoms of an industry that has historically been racist.

    Jitty pointed out in a different thread how few people of color were in the movies of the so-called golden age of auteur cinema. So even in an era when commercial success was deemed less important, the directors could largely not be bothered to cast anyone who didn't look like themselves.

    Joe Biden To Introduce Lady Gaga's Oscars Performance - Variety
    http://variety.com/2016/film/news/oscars-2016-joe-biden-lady-gaga-1201714837/

    Vice President Joe Biden will attend this Sunday’s Academy Awards, where he will introduce Lady Gaga’s performance of “Til It Happens to You” — from the documentary “The Hunting Ground” — a White House official confirmed.

    “The Hunting Ground,” about campus sexual assault, addresses one of Biden’s signature issues. A longtime advocate against sexual assault, and the author of the 1994 Violence Against Women Act, Biden is expected to direct viewers to the It’s on Uscampaign. The public awareness campaign asks people to make a personal commitment to help keep women and men safe from sexual assault.

    Biden’s appearance is unusual for the Oscars, but not unprecedented. Then-Vice President Charles Curtis attended the 4th Academy Awards in 1931 on President Herbert Hoover’s behalf. First Lady Michelle Obama presented best picture (to Ben Affleck’s “Argo”) remotely from the White House in 2013, and President Ronald Reagan delivered a taped message in 1981. Franklin Roosevelt addressed the Oscars via radio in 1941.
