After years of flack for failing to include enough people of color and women among its ranks, the academy is working to do something about it. This year, it has extended invitations to 774 people, including hundreds of women and minorities. And among those 774 people were a lot of Jews. Check out our starter…
There’s nothing like a little Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” to get you through some rough times. For Natalie Portman, Hailee Steinfeld, Andrew Garfield and lots more A-listers, those rough times mean the upcoming inauguration (and the four years to come).
