Seth Rogen, James Franco, Hugh Jackman and More Invited to Join Academy

Seth Rogen and James Franco

What would appear to be one prerequisite for scoring a membership in the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences? Working with Judd Apatow.

Frequent Apatow collaborators Seth Rogen, James Franco, Michael Cera, Paul Rudd and Jane Lynch are among the 134 industry names invited to join the elite Hollywood club this year. As members, they would enjoy voting privileges for all future Oscar ceremonies. (Apatow himself was invited to join AMPAS last year.)

Oscar

The Hangover, Best Picture nominee? Perhaps.

The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences announced Wednesday it is doubling the number of Best Picture nominees — from five to 10.

"Having 10 Best Picture nominees is going allow Academy voters to recognize and include some of the fantastic movies that often show up in the other Oscar categories but have been squeezed out of the race for the top prize," AMPAS President Sid Ganis said in a press conference. "I can't wait ...

TVGuide.com's Official Oscars Drinking Game*

Hugh Jackman, The 81st Academy Awards

It's pretty simple really. You must drink:

1. If host Hugh Jackman makes a joke that references the abysmal box office of Australia (Penalty: Shotgun a Foster's oil can.)

2. When a winner displays false modesty ("Wow!", "I didn't think I'd win," "I'm so surprised," "I didn't prepare a speech," etc.). Double penalty if it's Kate Winslet. (Penalty: He drinks a whiskey drink/he drinks a vodka drink/he drinks a lager drink/he drinks a cider drink)

All nine actors who portrayed the three main characters in three stages of their lives will be at the ceremony, Finn said. Slumdog, set in the slums of Mumbai, is the heavy favorite to take best picture.

Until now, only ...

Oscar-Nominated Films Not Heating Up the Box Office

Sean Penn, Frank Langella

Jason slashed his way to a box office record this weekend, but those cerebral and emotionally rich films vying for Oscars look as limp as one of his victims.

This year's best picture nominees have grossed $273.2 million at the domestic box office, down significantly from the $316.6 million raked in by last year's class, Variety reports.

What's worse, if you remove runaway hit Slumdog Millionaire's $88 million and the $122.5 million brought in by The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, the remaining films are among the lowest-grossing nominees in years. So far... read more
