the academy decides
the academy should keep the complicated history of those great buildings in mind as it decides how to proceed with its own construction project. a delay at this stage could turn out to be the film museum' s saving grace .

how many dresses does the average nominee try on? it depends, but probably at least 10 for each nominee. also, if an actress suddenly decides on canary yellow diamonds, she might try on a whole new bushel of frocks to match her jewels .
alidoosti, 33, also announced that she would protest the academy awards because of the ban .
the academy also decided that only one producer would get credit for the martin scorsese film “the departed. ”

the academy follows strict guidelines established by the producers guild of america when deciding who should get official credit .
how many reporters does an average nominee talk to on the red carpet? probably about 20. if a nominee decides to linger on the red carpet, it could be more but many nominees try to get inside the kodak theatre as quickly as possible. many, also, don’t arrive until a few minutes before showtime .
39% of those were women, and the academy notes there' s been a 359% increase in women invited to join since 2015 (though the academy is still only made up of 28% women) .
when the oscar nominations were announced last week, the academy said the producer credits for “little miss sunshine” were still to be determined .
the 2018 academy awards take place on sunday, march 4 at the dolby theatre in los angeles, hosted by jimmy kimmel .
there is nothing unexpected or untoward about the transition currently taking place within the academy museum' s design team ,
the statement said .
who gets invited to the oscar ceremony? each studio gets a specific number of tickets, at the academy’s discretion. in recent years, if a studio was warned about illegal campaigning or not adhering to the academy’s rules, one of the punishments was fewer tickets to the oscars .
30% of the new members in 2017 were people of colour, but again, that only equates to 13% of the academy overall .
nomination results are then announced at a live televised press conference in mid - january at the academy’s samuel goldwyn theater in beverly hills .
the board governing the academy of motion picture arts and sciences says it will retain the services of the accounting firm responsible for the embarrassing oscars best picture snafu at this year’s ceremony .
the bishop wheeler catholic academy trust is committed to promoting and safeguarding the welfare of all children and expects all staff and visitors to share this commitment .
the academy of motion picture arts and sciences announced changes on monday to the design team working on a $ 300 - million movie museum on wilshire boulevard .
in june 2016 the academy invited 683 new members to join, of which 41% of were people of colour and 46% were women .
a wholesale reassessment would mean pushing back the groundbreaking to 2015. that in turn would require the academy to be more forthright about the missteps it' s already made .
members of a street artist' s' academy' are guardians of a girl whom they have brought up from childhood. the girl is lured to her ruin & after a year' s search she is found only to die. the academy seeks revenge and tracks the villain down to a well deserved end .
iranian director asghar farhadi, whose film
the salesman
is nominated for an academy award, has decided not to attend the los angeles awards ceremony in february .
the same cannot be said of the royal academy, which is now, and always has been, linked with fine art rather than anything as frivolous as frocks .
after the commercial success of a retrospective on the designer gianni versace at the victoria & albert museum last year, the royal academy is to stage a similar event around his compatriot, giorgio armani .
the academy of motion picture arts and sciences has ruled that only one producer will get the credit for the crime drama “the departed, ” leaving brad pitt and paramount pictures studio chief brad grey out in the cold .
the producers guild of america (pga) is the awards body whose membership overlaps most with the academy' s, which is why their results are seen as most relevant to oscar predictions .
part of the producing teams that helped launch the academy award - nominated films ‘the departed” and “little miss sunshine” will have to watch from their seats if either movie should win the best picture oscar next month .
thursday night, the executive committee of the academy’s producer branch decided to exclude berger and yerxa, who found the script by michael arndt and brought it to the film’s directors, jon dayton and val faris .
do nominees receive a call from the academy or do they hear about it through tv like everyone else? nominees find out if they’ve made the final cut by watching on tv like everyone else. usually, their publicist is at the 5: 30 a. m. announcements at the academy’s headquarters on wilshire boulevard and will call them if they weren’t watching .
in a statement to the new york times, the director said he has chosen not to attend the academy awards. instead, he said he wants to
express my condemnation of the unjust conditions
surrounding the banned countries .
i regret to announce via this statement that i have decided to not attend the academy awards ceremony alongside my fellow members of the cinematic community ,
farhadi' s statement began .
the academy should stop worrying about public - relations fallout and admit that the design process for the museum needs more time. it should announce that it is taking at least six months to take stock .
there' s no overlap between the academy and the hollywood foreign press association, so the hfpa - voted golden globes mean nothing in real terms for the oscars. that being said, the globes take place before the final oscar votes are due in .
the academy' s full name is the academy of motion picture arts and sciences (ampas), and it' s made up of more than 7, 000 voting members. all are film - industry professionals, most are us - based, and almost half are active filmmakers (i. e. their most recent credit was 2010 or later) .
cast and crew of
moonlight
accept the best picture award onstage during the 89th annual academy awards at hollywood & amp; highland center on feb. 26, 2017 in hollywood, california .
the academy and its chief executive, dawn hudson, are falling into a similar trap. the monday statement seemed above all fearful of disrupting fundraising efforts or the construction timeline, which calls for the museum to open in 2017 .
according to rector of arts academy, prof signe kivi, the university council was guided, in its decision, by the shortest timeline for completion, absence of legal hurdles and the location, said rkas communications manager .
it is extremely troubling ,
the spokesperson said .
the academy celebrates achievement in the art of filmmaking, which seeks to transcend borders and speak to audiences around the world, regardless of national, ethnic, or religious differences .
similarly, the academy decided that albert berger and ron yerxa did not meet its guidelines for inclusion as producers of “little miss sunshine, ” which has already won top honors from the producers guild of america and the screen actors guild .
some critics may sniff at the idea of an armani show. two years ago, even the academy' s own secretary, norman rosenthal, announced :
i personally wouldn' t do an armani exhibition .
nominations voting is conducted using both paper and online ballots, with online voting being the preferred choice for the overwhelming majority of academy members. voting for nominations begins in late december, and all votes are tabulated by pricewaterhousecoopers .
some people think there are problems with this process. for one thing, voters can pick films they haven’t even seen. a larger difficulty is that the academy’s membership is not particularly diverse: a report in 2012 found that around 94% of its members were white, and more than 77% were male. the situation is improving, says gareth ellis - unwin, a producer and an academy voter. but there is still progress to be made. “selma”, an acclaimed biopic of martin luther king, received just two nominations last week: some blame this and other slights (such as all the best performance nominees being white) on the academy’s lack of diversity .
by refusing to budge on its construction timeline, the academy is doubling down on the least - promising elements of the design. sure, some refinements might smooth out some of its more obvious wrinkles. what they won' t do is salvage the design as a whole .
who votes? actors for actors? writers for writers? who votes for best picture? the academy is broken up into 16 branches. the largest group is actors, with 1, 251 voting members. when voting to determine the nominees, each branch nominates in its own category: actors for actors, writers for writers, etc. special voting groups within the academy pick the nominees in other categories (documentary, foreign - lingo film, makeup, short films, sound editing, visual effects), with all the voting members nominating best picture. for the actual winners after the nominees have been determined, all members of the academy vote for all the awards (except for three smaller awards). ballots are sent jan. 31, they must be returned by feb. 20 .
according to rkas chief executive jaak saarniit, the location was selected considering art university’s needs, and legal and economic aspects. at the new location, the new building can become a reality at optimal construction costs, the academy’s rental and administrative costs coming down by nearly 30 per cent .
after 2016' s outcry, which included several high - profile stars including will smith and jada pinkett - smith boycotting the ceremony in protest, the academy announced plans to address this, promising to double its number of women and diverse members by 2020 .
when a film wins an oscar, it’s the producer who accepts the golden statuette and gives the acceptance speech. rules adopted by the academy in 2000 limits credited producers to three in order to avoid handing awards to a mob of “producers, ” some of whom may have gained the credit for little or no effort .
in 2018, the golden globes were announced on 7 january, and the academy' s nominations voting closed on january 12, with the final voting deadline set as february 27. so in theory, voters could be influenced one way or the other by globe winners if they' re on the fence about their choices .
it will no doubt be argued that mr armani, 68, is no more worthy a subject than was versace, who was celebrated as much for his kitsch glamour as for any artistic style. this argument will hold even more weight for a gallery with the status of the royal academy .
how do films get nominated? is there an initial ballot before the final one? the academy sends out an empty ballot to all the 5, 830 academy members at the beginning of january with a separate sheet of paper listing all the eligible films. this year, ballots were sent out on dec. 26 and had to be returned on jan. 13. to be eligible, feature films have until midnight, dec. 31, to open in a commercial motion picture theater in los angeles county and begin a minimum run of seven consecutive days. this year there were 307 films that were eligible .
at eka request, rkas has analysed and compared possible options for a new location for the academy, considering current conditions on the sites. in addition to no 1 tartu highway lot, telliskivi loomelinnak (creative hub), former suva stocking factory at kotzebue st, and no 17 küti st were considered .
although details of the show are not yet published, it will be the first in the museum' s new gallery in burlington gardens, central london – formerly the museum of mankind and the british museum' s department of ethnography. the ornate victorian building, sited between the high - fashion thoroughfares of savile row and old bond street, was bought by the academy in 2001 for £5m and is being refurbished as part of a £40m project designed to double the exhibition space .
an easy question with a very complicated answer. there are different voting branches for each category at the academy awards, where members vote in their own fields. for example, the actors branch votes to nominate in all four acting awards, the directors vote for best director nominees, and so on. how many votes you need to secure a nomination depends on the size of the voting branch .
feeble - minded leader of the academy, and lieutenant harris (g. w. bailey) is his scheming assistant. naturally, the recruits engage in a variety of zany antics. it all plays like a made - for - tv film with some nudity and scatological humor thrown in, but it made a bunch of money .
yesterday, a deal was sealed by estonian academy of arts (eka) and state real estate ltd (rkas) regarding mutual obligations in acquiring a factory building at kotzebue st 1 / põhja av 7, north tallinn, to create a modern university of architecture, design and arts .
a hard - headed commitment to the current design — and to the smooth progression of the capital campaign, still underway, that is going to pay for it — has so far kept that from happening. academy leaders in their statement monday produced mostly empty spin, an attempt to show that they' re responsive to criticism and public sentiment without changing course in any productive way .
a lot of customers have joined us during the past months – we’re working hard on getting all those cakes eaten. here’s one of them, welcoming willem de kooning academy in rotterdam. we’re thrilled that yet another great school in the netherlands decided to hop on board and are very happy to see asimut being used by so many students and staff over there .
they are the awards craved by all of hollywood. every november more than 6, 000 voting members from the 17 branches of the academy of motion pictures and sciences are sent a nominations ballot for the oscars. on this, they rank their favourite five films in a particular category, from best director to best makeup and hairstyling. after the votes are tallied, the awards are handed out at a glitzy ceremony, being held this year on february 22nd. but how, exactly, are oscar winners decided ?
how likely is it that the voter will get to watch all the movies? extremely unlikely. this past year, in december alone, there were dozens of movies released. members of the academy are working film professionals and have full - time jobs, meaning they don’t have time to see three movies a day, maybe only a couple a week. hence, having screeners at home makes viewing a lot more convenient .
do the stars campaign between the time they are nominated and the show? yes, the campaigning never stops until the ballots are in. but by this stage in the race, however, the number of interviews and campaigning decreases compared to before the nominations .
is every member of the academy sent screeners for all the films? there is no rule that studios must send out screeners of its films. some studios choose to send out screeners for films that have been released late in the year, giving voters an opportunity to watch those movies at home when there are so many films vying for their attention. studios begin sending out screeners in late oct. and voters have until jan. 20 when final ballots are due to watch them .
the oscars 2017 were most notable for the colossal mess up at the end of the night when warren beatty was handed the wrong envelope and front runner la la land was announced as the best picture winner when the award actually went to moonlight .
film awards are both a lucrative and a costly business. mr ellis - unwin compares it to running for a political office, with up to $ 10m spent on wooing voters. (the high cost of campaigning for voters’ attention means smaller films are at a disadvantage .) but the stakes are high. winning awards, particularly oscars, often increases a film’s box - office performance, as well as boosting the reputations (and egos) of the stars involved. this year’s oscar campaign is now entering its final stretch. academy members have just received their second ballots, and the winners will be determined in the next few weeks. then the campaign will be over, and the drama of the ceremony will begin .
who counts the votes? for the past 73 years, the accounting firm of pricewaterhousecoopers have tabulated the votes. the company counts the final ballots from feb. 21 through 23. it’s typically 3 long days (with 14 - to 15 - hour). the day before the oscars event, the two ballot partners, brad oltmanns and rick rosas prepare all the envelopes .
once the nominations are in, things get simpler – all members are allowed to vote for the winner across all categories, and the nominee with the most votes wins .
it should give piano the leeway to change the basic design concept if he needs to. and it should make clear that the option of changing design architects is always on the table if the plan remains stuck .
since the debacle, the firm removed cullinan and colleague martha ruiz from all oscars - related dealings. pwc has been the official oscar ballot counter for the past 83 years .
after final ballots are tabulated, only two partners of pricewaterhousecoopers know the results until the famous envelopes are opened onstage during the oscars telecast .
( gensler, by the way, has to be considered the front - runner to be named executive architect on the film museum. )
going forward, a third person will be added to the team of accountants that manage the ballot counting and results. this additional person will sit in the control room during the production to rapidly respond to any errors. pwc added that accountants will have to give up their mobile devices for the entirety of the show. the accountant who managed the oscar ballot counting process from 2002 to 2013 will return to the role .
the director concluded his statement by saying
to humiliate one nation with the pretext of guarding the security of another is not a new phenomenon in history and has always laid the groundwork for the creation of future divide and enmity .
last month, pricewaterhousecoopers took full responsibility for giving actor warren beatty the wrong envelope to announce the final and most prestigious award of the night .
after a board meeting tuesday night, the first in - person gathering since the blunder, the group decided to keep pwc as its accounting firm with necessary changes, according to the hollywood reporter .
must everyone go backstage and be interviewed by the press? yes, after receiving their awards all winners go directly to meet the press backstage and answer questions from the global press covering the awards .
can the nominees get up during the show? where do they go? yes, anyone is allowed to get up during commercial breaks and if they are not in their seats by the time the show is back on the air, seat fillers take their place. producers hate it if the camera pans the audience and there are empty seats .
what kinds of campaigning do the studios do? parties, dinners, screenings? all of the above. in the past few years, screenings with a question - and - answer session afterward, featuring the cast and director of the film, have become quite popular, and give voters a chance to know the principals of the movie a little better. also, casual parties at the homes of the studio heads were in vogue this year. at a house party in support of “the devil wears prada, ” where the press was also invited, shooting the breeze in the kitchen were meryl streep, cate blanchett, forest whitaker and tom cruise .
what are the important after parties to attend? the highest - profile party is the governor’s ball, which takes place in the grand ballroom of the hollywood and highland center and is adjacent to the kodak. approximately 1, 600 guests attend and it’s often the first stop in a night of party - hopping oscargoers. other big parties are the vanity fair soiree held at morton’s restaurant and the elton john aids foundation bash, sponsored by in style magazine .
zoltan pali, the los angeles architect who' d been collaborating with the acclaimed italian renzo piano, has left the job. another firm, soon to be named, will join the project as executive architect as it approaches the start of construction later this year .
but it does nothing to address problems at the heart of the design, especially flaws in its spherical theater, which piano has nicknamed
the spaceship .
during his acceptance speech the following year, the director described iran as a
rich and ancient culture that has been hidden under the heavy dust of politics .
the v & a at least is dedicated to the applied arts – fashion is an integral part of its permanent collection and fashion students the world over visit its archives. even so, the show was given mixed reviews .
i hereby express my condemnation of the unjust conditions forced upon some of my compatriots and the citizens of the other six countries trying to legally enter the united states of america and hope that the current situation will not give rise to further divide between nations ,
he said .
the director said initially he planned to
attend this ceremony and to express my opinions about these circumstances in the press surrounding the event
with his cinematographer hossein jafarian .
the statement continues ,
as supporters of filmmakers - - and the human rights of all people - - around the globe, we find it extremely troubling that asghar farhadi, the director of the oscar - winning film from iran,' a separation,' along with the cast and crew of this year' s oscar - nominated film' the salesman,' could be barred from entering the country because of their religion or country of origin .
the consensus, though, seems to be that hfpa voters are more likely to be influenced by the oscars than the other way around, and tend to cast their votes according to where the overall race seems to be going .
2017 carried on the trend, with the addition of a record - breaking 774 new members from 57 different countries .
once all 17 branches have voted, the catchily - named auditing firm pricewaterhousecoopers uses a very complex weighting system to measure the results and determine the five nominees for each category .
who is invited and who isn’t? all of the nominees — including those in the below - the - line categories — are invited to the governor’s ball, and most of the high - profile celebs are invited to an array of other parties. they may attend the aforementioned affairs and / or the studio parties and and / or agency parties where the press aren’t encouraged to scope for photos. for example, caa or icm might have a private party for their clients .
academies will continue to serve the parish communities in which they are based as well as the wider community. close working relationships will be an important part of the success of our catholic education provision
according to the wrap, the only category in which you need more than 100 votes to secure a nomination are best picture and the four acting categories, which are voted for by the largest number of people. everyone has a say on best picture .
grey had been instrumental in the film’s development, but backed out of direct involvement after getting the top job at paramount last year .
how do the designers approach the nominees about wearing dresses, jewelry, etc. ? every big designer — from dior to chanel — has a west coast rep who woos leading actresses and actors throughout the year in the hopes of convincing them to wear that particular designer. the campaigning gets very fierce as awards season approaches. smaller - name celebrities have their stylists reach out to the design houses .
no laughing matter if you' re one of the pricewaterhousecoopers accountants who were responsible, but better than the 2016 oscars which provoked an outpouring of bile when, for the second year running, there were no non - white acting nominees at all, inspiring the # oscarssowhite hashtag .
the political battles that plagued plans for union station also had a silver lining; they gave its team of architects, led by john and donald parkinson, several crucial opportunities to improve the design in the 1930s .

the pga devised its rules regarding credits after years of complaints about “credit creep” — the tendency of filmmakers to massage the egos of actors, directors, studio executives and even agents by giving them undeserved on - screen credit .
there' s no arguing with the pop cultural appeal of the italian designers, however, who were presumably chosen to pull in large crowds. fashion in general does wonders for attendance levels. the mario testino photographic show at the national portrait gallery in trafalgar square was almost universally panned, but it was also the most successful in that museum' s history by far .
how many screeners does the average member receive? somewhere around 20. it’s also important to note that if a nominated film came out much earlier in the year, screeners aren’t necessary because the movie is already out on dvd .
“i loved working on ’the departed’ and will always think of it as one of the best times of my career, ” grey said in a statement .

farhadi was the subject of many headlines after president donald trump issued a travel ban from seven predominantly muslim countries, including the director' s homeland of iran .
the design museum near tower bridge opened a retrospective of the shoe designer manolo blahnik' s work earlier this year. also currently in on the act is zandra rhodes, who, on monday, opens a self - funded fashion & textiles museum in bermondsey, south london, dedicated to the subject. the first exhibition –
my favourite dress
– includes contributions from international designers – among them armani and versace – which features their favourite creations. an ossie clark retrospective is also opening at the v & a in south kensington this summer and the gallery will stage a larger show featuring the work of vivienne westwood early next year .
perhaps there is no surprise in the organisers dedicating a section of the armani retrospective to hollywood. armani dresses many of the men at the oscars awards each year and leading ladies also rely on his advice. richard gere' s wardrobe in american gigolo, which has attained a certain iconic status, was his work .
the switch is a response to recent criticism of the proposed museum — and to a collaboration between piano and pali that has never seemed smooth or especially productive .
only a comprehensive effort to rethink the museum' s architecture will do that .

the mix - up led to massive confusion with beatty’s co - presenter faye dunaway incorrectly awarding “la la land” as the best picture winner, instead of “moonlight. ” pictures surfaced showing pwc accountant brian cullinan, who was responsible for giving beatty the wrong envelope, breaching protocol minutes before handing over the results to post a photo of actress emma stone to twitter .

the answer, historically, has been almost exclusively white men. according to a 2014 survey conducted by the los angeles times, oscar voters were on average 63 years old. 76% of them were men, and 94% of them were white. fortunately that' s changed a bit in the last few years, although white men do still make up the largest proportion of voters .

when eli broad announced plans in 2010 for a museum on grand avenue to hold his art collection, just to pick one well - known recent example, the full architectural team was already in place. the new york firm diller, scofidio + renfro was named design architect and gensler the executive architect .
it' s a bit like the
alternative vote
system. but it may not be fair
as confirmed by mr saarniit, the factory building is easy to convert into a university. «the building, designed in 1926 by architect eugen habermann and completed in 1932 has well illuminated, spacious and high spaces, load bearing structures being very solid; the academic environment will be good, » said he .
attendant carey mahoney (steve guttenberg); the girl of his dreams, karen thompson (kim cattrall); florist moses hightower (bubba smith); and larvell jones (michael winslow), who has the uncanny ability to imitate virtually any sound. commandant lassard (george gaynes) is the gentle yet rather
hard - liners, despite their nationalities, political arguments and wars, regard and understand the world in very much the same way ,
farhadi said .
in order to understand the world, they have no choice but to regard it via an' us and them' mentality, which they use to create a fearful image of' them' and inflict fear in the people of their own countries .
the new building will have about 11, 500 square metres of covered area, studies should start in 2016. as decided by government ministers, last week, the new eka building will also receive state support .
i have always seen fashion as an opportunity for cultural exchange ,
the designer said in london this week. then, returning any compliment in the well - mannered style his marketing people would relish, he added :
and london today represents the international crossroads for creative ideas – a true melting pot .
how do they decide on presenters? it is the job of co - producer danette herman to line up presenters. she has been working with the oscars, in one capacity or another, for 33 years .
abc news reached out to farhadi repeatedly this weekend, but did not receive word back. a request for comment from the u. s. distributor of
the salesman ,
amazon studios, also went unanswered .
the pga awards correctly forecast the eventual best picture winner 11 out of 16 times this century, including an eight - year run from 2007 to 2015 (though it backed la la land and not moonlight in 2017) .
rkas communications chief madis idnurm told postimees that eka’s old tartu hwy lot would be sold. «sales plan for no 1 tartu hwy will be formalised in cooperation of eka and rkas, » said mr idnurm. the planned sale of the lot was also confirmed by eka finance and administration chief toomas johanson. the timing is still unclear. «it all depends on need for finances, » said mr johanson, adding that the sale would definitely not happen in foreseeable future .
the director also described iranians as
a people who respect all cultures and civilizations and despise hostility and resentment .
however, it now seems that the possibility of this presence is being accompanied by ifs and buts which are in no way acceptable to me even if exceptions were to be made for my trip ,
he continued .
i would therefore like to convey via this statement what i would have expressed to the press were i to travel to the united states .
though piano has taken several passes at the sphere, it hasn' t coalesced into a convincing set of architectural ideas. the theater design remains gimmicky, alienated rather than emerging confidently from its site, as piano' s best museum projects do .
how do they know someone else won’t be wearing the same dress? it’s the responsibility of the design house to keep records of who wears what. each star’s stylist must be vigilant about securing an original dress too. still, double - vision happens, especially when stars opt for vintage. last year, reese witherspoon wore a chanel dress to the globes that kirsten dunst had worn three years prior. this year, jessica biel wore a repeat valentino that hilary swank had been photographed in years before .
add oscars as an interest to stay up to date on the latest oscars news, video, and analysis from abc news .
that' s hard to believe. having pali leave unceremoniously and without comment at this stage was surely never part of the original plan .
farhadi acknowledged that
in my country hardliners are the same. for years on both sides of the ocean, groups of hardliners have tried to present to their people unrealistic and fearful images of various nations and cultures in order to turn their differences into disagreements, their disagreements into enmities and their enmities into fears. instilling fear in the people is an important tool used to justify extremist and fanatic behavior by narrow - minded individuals .
but meaningful architecture often follows a slow or tumultuous route to completion. frank gehry' s walt disney concert hall took a leap forward architecturally every time its construction was put on hold in the 1990s. the finished building, completed in 2003, looks nothing like gehry' s winning competition entry of 1988 .

this collegiate voting partially explains the discrepancies that often happen between categories, for example when a best film nominee doesn' t get a best director nod, or vice versa .
