The Academy has announced the new class of invited members for 2014 and, as is typical, many of which are among last year's nominees, which includes Barkhad Abdi, Michael Fassbender, Sally Hawkins, Mads Mikkelsen, Lupita Nyong'o and June Squibb in the Actors branch not to mention curious additions such as Josh Hutcherson, Rob Riggle and Jason Statham, but, okay. The Directors branch adds Jay and Mark Duplass along with Jean-Marc Vallee, Denis Villeneuve and Thomas Vinterberg. I didn't do an immediate tally of male to female additions or other demographics, but at first glance it seems to be a wide spread batch of new additions on all fronts. The Academy is also clearly attempting to aggressively bump up the demographics as this is the second year in a row where they have added a large number of new members, well over the average of 133 new members from 2004 to 2012.

Michael Fassbender and Lupita Nyong’o of 12 Years a Slave were two of the 271 artists and industry leaders invited to become members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which determines nominations and winners at the annual Oscars. The entire list of Academy membership—which numbers about 6,000—isn’t public information so the annual invitation list is often the best indication of the artists involved in the prestigious awards process. It’s worth noting that invitations need to be accepted in order for artists to become members; some artists, like two-time Best Actor winner Sean Penn, have declined membership over the years.

Pop quiz: What do Chris Rock, Claire Denis, Eddie Vedder and Josh Hutcherson all have in common? Answer: They could all be Oscar voters very soon. The annual Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences invitation list always makes for interesting reading, shedding light on just how large and far-reaching the group's membership is -- or could be, depending on who accepts their invitations. This year, 271 individuals have been asked to join AMPAS, meaning every one of them could contribute to next year's Academy Awards balloting -- and it's as diverse a list as they've ever assembled. Think the Academy consists entirely of fusty retired white dudes? Not if recent Best Original Song nominee Pharrell Williams takes them up on their offer. Think it's all just a Hollywood insiders' game? Not if French arthouse titans Chantal Akerman and Olivier Assayas join the party. It's a list that subverts expectation at every turn.

Alfonso Cuarón's space thriller takes seven awards, but loses out to 12 Years a Slave for best picture
• How the night unfolded

Gravity may be set in space, but it achieved a landslide at the 86th Academy Awards, taking seven Oscars, while 12 Years a Slave went home with three.
Through its UK producer, David Heyman, Gravity qualifies as a British film, and its Oscar wins come in the wake of the best British film award at the Bafta ceremony.

The 86th annual Academy Awards were really fun to watch. Ellen Degeneres did a fantastic job hosting, and I enjoyed the show she put on. It was also insanely predictable, at least, for me it was. Overall, I'm happy with all of the films that won. My favorite win of the the night was Spike Jonze taking home the Oscar for Best Original screenplay for Her. That was such an amazing movie, and I really wanted it to win that award, but I wasn't sure it would happen. My favorite speech of the night came from Best Actor winner Matthew McConaughey. I was never really a big fan of his, but over the last couple of years he has sure blown up into an amazing actor who has starred in some really incredible films. Then that speech he gave last night won me over, and now I'm on team McConaughey.

Hard-hitting slavery drama starring Chiwetel Ejiofor becomes first film from black director to win top Academy award
• How the night unfolded
• Full list of winners
12 Years a Slave has won the best picture Oscar at the 86th Academy Awards, defeating a nine-strong field that included Gravity, The Wolf of Wall Street and American Hustle for the headline prize at this year's ceremony. 12 Years a Slave becomes the first film from a black director to take the best picture Oscar.
Directed by Steve McQueen, the landmark slavery drama stars Chiwetel Ejiofor as a free man kidnapped and sold to slaveowners in 19th-century Louisiana. It was based on the bestselling memoir by Solomon Northup, first published in 1853. 12 Years a Slave follows McQueen's award-winning dramas Hunger and Shame, and was produced by among others Brad Pitt's Plan B outfit. Pitt also takes a small but pivotal role as abolitionist carpenter Samuel Bass.

After a lengthy awards season that lasted three long months, the race for the Oscars came to a conclusion tonight at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
This year’s 86th Academy Awards saw a split between Best Picture and Director. 12 Years A Slave won three, including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress for Lupita Nyong’o.
Backstage, producer/actor Brad Pitt said, “ I love this movie. I ‑‑ just as a film, as a lover of film, the filmmaking, the ‑‑ this heroic story of a man in this inhumane situation trying to get back to his family. I love this film. I love the filmmaking. It’s counterintuitive to the way we’re making films today. It’s a real achievement by Mr. McQueen here. I love this movie. I think it’s important.

The 2014 Oscar Awards have been handed out and it to no real surprise... there were few surprises as 12 Years a Slave took home Best Picture as well as Best Supporting Actress (Lupita Nyong'o) and Best Adapted Screenplay (John Ridley) while Gravity, unsurprisingly, ended up taking home the night's largest number of wins with seven, none bigger than a Best Director win for Alfonso Cuaron. In the acting categories the only category that seemed up for grabs was Supporting Actress, but as I said, that went to Lupita, which may have something to do with Jennifer Lawrence wearing red... I learned on E! that no one wearing red has ever won the Oscar. Yeah, that's hard-hitting journalism right there. Dallas Buyers Club co-stars Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto won Best Actor and Supporting Actor respectively while Cate Blanchett took home her second Oscar, winning Best Actress for Blue Jasmine.

In the lead-up to the 86th annual Academy Awards on March 2, HitFix will be bringing you the lowdown on all 24 Oscar categories with multiple entries each day. Take a few notes and bone up on the competition as we give you the edge in your office Oscar pool! The shorts categories can make or break your office predictions pool, and this year in particular, they could really make a difference. It's a tight race overall and if you can figure out where the Academy might go in these fields, you'll have a leg up. Live action might be the most difficult one of the bunch to call, however, as four of the five nominees could easily win the prize. It's an international assortment, entries coming from Spain, France, the UK, Denmark and Finland. (Note the absence of an American voice this year. Pity.) It's usually best to side with the film that rouses the emotions,...

Funny how fast an Oscar season goes by… only last year Argo was being given the Academy Award for Best Picture. The big night is almost here and nothing about this year’s Academy Awards is a sure bet. With so much time between the nominations in January, the various guild awards and the Olympics thrown in, the 6,028 AMPAS voters have had a long time to mull things, and their votes, over.
The winner’s acceptance speeches at the Golden Globes, the Screen Actor Guild Awards (SAG) and the British Academy Awards (BAFTA) have never been more important as they have during this past month and a half. Voting for the Oscars closed on Tuesday, February 25, at 5 p.m.
Even the avid pundits are in a muddle and would give their eye teeth to see the final tallies. Will hopefuls Leto,...

Welcome to Oscar Week!
From Tuesday through Saturday, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences invites movie geeks each night to get an up close look at the various categories and nominees.
Kicking off the week was the “Oscar Celebrates: Shorts” event on Tuesday, February 25, 2014 at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.
Actor Kevin Pollack hosted the evening with screenings of all the 2013 Oscar-nominated films in the Animated and Live Action Short Film categories, plus onstage discussions with the filmmakers.
So what exactly qualifies a film into these categories? According to AMPAS rule 19, “a short film is defined as an original motion picture that has a running time of 40 minutes or less, including all credits.” It goes on to say, “An animated film is created by using a frame-by-frame technique, and usually falls into one of the two general fields of animation: character or abstract.

We are now less than a week away from the 2014 Oscars and I'll be posting my final predictions soon enough and asking for you to place your votes on each category as well leading up to the March 2 festivities. But in the meantime, Bovada (via Slashfilm) have posted updated Las Vegas odds on all 23 categories and for the most part it's just as you'd expect. In Best Picture it's just as close a race as we've been saying some time though Oscar prognosticators tend to be leaning more toward Gravity as of late. Personally I'm pretty sure I'll be holding on to 12 Years a Slave by the time the show starts and it seems Vegas will agree. Some of the more interesting races include Best Foreign Film, which Vegas currently pegs The Great Beauty as the frontrunner and it certainly seems to be the film with the most juice. Currently...

What happens after a child soldier has to come to terms with the horrendous crimes he/she was forced to commit out of fear? The guilt, the trauma, and all of their ramifications remain long after reaching safety. In his Oscar nominated short film Aquel No Era Yo (That Wasn't Me), Spanish director Esteban Crespo retraces the events that marked the life of one of these African children coerced to become killers by militant groups. Nothing short of an expensive Hollywood production, Crespo’s piece aims to shine light not only on those kids still being used as soldiers in war-torn regions, but on the aftermath and how their lives are perpetually scarred. The director talked to us about creating the expensive look without having a sizable budget, the importance of film to bring attention to social issues, and the Academy Award nomination.
Carlos Aguilar: Have you always been interested in this type of social issues? Or where did the idea for the short come from?
Esteban Crespo: I read an interview in a Spanish newspaper. It was an interview with an ex-child soldier. He was now an adult that talked about the things he had done, or the things he was forced to do as a child, when he was a soldier. Everything he retold was very powerful and harsh, I saw in there a person that was suffering, a person who was going to have a hard time recovering from the things he had done. I thought there was a story there. There had been films about child soldiers but I didn’t know of any that dealt with the sequels, what happens after, so I started working on that story.
Aguilar: This seems like a story that could work as a feature. Did you always think of is as a short film?
Crespo: At first, one always dreams of making features. Almost any idea I have I think of making it into a feature. This was going to be a feature, but we quickly realize that it was impossible because of its theme, no production company or television station wanted to invest money in it. They didn’t think it was a story that could make money.
Aguilar: Now that you mention the money issues, how did you manage to obtain financing for a short like this that seems to be expensive?
Crespo: This is a short that seems to have a big budget behind it but it didn’t, on the contrary. This short was shot in 4 days and a half. Everything that takes place in Africa was shot in 4 days. We didn’t have money for lighting, so we had to shoot with natural light. We were ready as soon as the sun came out, and at sunset we would stop shooting. For the most spectacular parts we managed to get help from the Spanish army, they lent us the tanks and the weaponry. That collaboration gave the film that big, spectacular touch. I also hired two friends who did the VFX and everything was kind of like that. At the end it looks like a film with a huge budget but is not.
Aguilar: How would you describe the process of working with your actors in this project?
Crespo: The process was wonderful. This has been the easiest short film I’ve made, even though it seemed very complex it was very simple. The hardest thing was the casting, finding all those kids, who are all from Madrid actually. Once you have a great cast, people who are great actors, everything becomes so much easier.
Aguilar: The subject of child soldiers is a tragic global problem. Do you think that your film - now with the Oscar nomination - can bring more attention to this important human rights issue?
Crespo: What I think it can do, which it is already doing, is shine some light on this problem. This is a short film that has the support of all the NGOs (Non-governmental Organizations) in Spain that work with child soldiers. When we won the Goya last year they were very satisfied and very happy because it gave their fight more national exposure. The Oscar is an internationally famous award, the fact that it is nominated means it could be seen all over the world and that the attention on the issue is now global.
Aguilar: What has changed for you after the Oscar nomination?
Crespo: The biggest change is in terms of media coverage and interviews. We can’t forget that until now I have only done short films, this is my sixth short film. I’m the only nominee from my country this year, which has given me a lot of attention from the media and a lot of interviews. It is a huge thing for a short film.
Aguilar: What do you want the audience to take from watching "Aquel No Era Yo"?
Crespo: What I want is to shake them from the inside out. Grab their insights and make them feel things, that’s what I’m interested in. I want to take them to a final climax where they can face their own convictions.
Aguilar: Is there any pressure or expectations since you are representing not only Spain, but also the organizations that supported your film?
Crespo: No, none. This is a short film, and I’m just excited to be here. There is no pressure. Of course we want to win, but there is no pressure. We want people to watch the film, that's what we really wan. We want it to be seen.
Aguilar: What are your future plans? What is next after this experience?
Crespo: I have some projects, and we are starting to look for producers. One is a comedy based on another one of my shorts called “Naide Tiene la Culpa” (It’s Nobody’s Fault), the others are thrillers, one is kind of on the more political side and the other is more about adventures. There is still no producer attached to any of these.
Aguilar: Would you like to pursue a career here in Hollywood, like your compatriot J.A. Bayona? Or would you prefer to stay in Spain?
Crespo: I’ve actually never thought about it. I’m open to everything. I will make films wherever they want me. If they want me here, I’d stay here, if they want me in Spain then I’ll be there. Film is what I do, the only thing I want is to work on this.

We’re two weeks out from Oscar nominations and now it seems to be about endurance. Which film can make it through the much the cleanest? Are the front runners wavering any? Those are answers we won’t get until the Oscars but with the BAFTAs having just ended its clear that we are in for a great race to the finish.
-The BAFTAs certainly made for an interesting wrench in some of these predictions. 12 Years a Slave had a paltry showing for the majority of the day before taking Best Actor and Best Picture, whereas Gravity and American Hustle both did very well. So where does that put us for Oscars? I’m still going to stick with Gravity for now since the likelihood of a split with preferential balloting isn’t good. More confusing is Supporting Actress were Jennifer Lawrence seems to be...

There are some meaty subjects in the five short films nominated for an Academy Award in the best live action short film category. Without a single American film in the mix, these international films present characters that inspire immediate emotional investment. Here’s a look at what scored nominations this year. “The Voorman Problem” A psychiatrist visits a prison to treat a patient who believes himself to be a god. This 13-minute comedy short (also nominated for a BAFTA Award) packs a starry punch with Martin Freeman (“The Hobbit”) as a psychiatrist who’s called to a prison to solve the titular issue of Voorman (Tom Hollander), a straitjacketed inmate who maintains that he is divine and has convinced the entire prison population of it. Freeman brings a healthy balance of skepticism and curiosity to the role, though the ending provides more questions than answers. Then again, much like pondering...

Well folks, we’ve reached the point in the Oscar season where every scenario starts playing in Oscar watchers heads. This longer phase two has made everyone a bit jumpy and all of the categories that aren’t locked up begin to look baity.

It’s been a pretty busy week in the movie industry, especially on Saturday when three major guilds handed out prizes. Surprisingly though, nothing much seems to have changed in the race. The Oscar Predictions were due for a polish though, and so I’ve updated them to reflect the newest information.
-No film has ever lost Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress and Screenplay in the same night. Could American Hustle become the first? Looks like it. I wrote last week that if Her won the WGA prize for screenplay that the race could be over, so the predictions reflect that. Still seems off that American Hustle won’t win a single Oscar.
-Frozen‘s win at the Annies combined with Pixar not being in the race all but assure it a win now. Also, with Get a Horse! we could...

It’s been two weeks since the Oscar nominations were announced and after most of the major guilds have announced their awards, the Oscar race has really taken shape. We’re just a little more than a month out and it’s time to take stock of the race with an Oscar prediction update.
Analysis of a Picture/Director Split
Picking a director/picture split is not a really smart enterprise. 62 out of the 85 winners of Best Picture have won along with their directors and four of those case were when the director of the film wasn’t even nominated. Particularly since the DGA has been giving awards, the winner of that prize nearly always goes on to Best Picture glory (only four winners in the past 25 years has seen their films lose Best Picture). In that same time speak, only two directors have lost...

American Hustle and Gravity lead the nominations for the 86th Annual Academy Awards! Both films received 10 nominations, and both of them deserve it. In fact, I'm pretty happy to see how the nominations turned out this year, a lot of them weren't surprising at all. The one movie I'm happy that got some recognition that I didn't think would was Philomena. It's a small film from Steve Coogan that is an amazing movie that you should all see when you get a chance.
American Hustle and Gravity are going to be the big winners this year at the Oscars. It will be interesting to see who wins what though. The one person I am truly rooting for this year is Leonardo DiCaprio. He's nominated for Best Actor in The Wolf of Wall Street, and if there is one performance he needs to win for, it's for that film. He was freakin' incredible in it!

After an intense season of outside-industry kudos delivery, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences has proclaimed its favorites of a memorable award season. “12 Years a Slave” continues its momentum with nominees for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Screenplay and more.
While films like “Philomena,” “Nebraska,” “Captain Phillips,” “The Wolf of Wall Street, “Her,” “Gravity,” “Dallas Buyers Club” having begun to pick up steam with at least three key Oscar nominations each, big-fish “American Hustle” has a hand in all four major acting categories along with Best Picture and Best Director among its other nominations for other technical awards.
And yes, “Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa” is now an Oscar-nominated film. Below is a full list of this year’s Academy Award nominees:
