This year the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is publicizing the names of actors, directors, writers and others who have been invited to join up and become Oscars voters. The new pledges include Sean Penn, Viggo Mortensen, Sofia Coppola, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Patricia Clarkson, Hope Davis, Treat Williams and Scarlett Johansson. Prez Frank Pierson swears the list of 127 invitees is shorter and more exclusive than in previous years. (Via Defamer)
Would seem to be a story there, eh? Maybe he turns them down every year.

This is a numbers game for him.

How has Sean Penn not been allowed Academy voting privileges until now? The guy's been maybe the greatest actor of his generation for what, 15 years? That's gotta be a mistake.
