According to the Academy, in order to be considered, the achievements don’t necessarily have to be introduced in 2011. They just have to “demonstrate a proven record of contributing significant value to the process of making motion pictures.” In short, these people are being honored for helping to make movies even more awesome.

George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Ryan Gosling are absolutely killing it in the nominations this award season, and it's well-deserved. Michelle Williams, Charlize Theron, Rooney Mara, Tilda Swinton, Jodie Foster, Kristen Wiig, Viola Davis, Meryl Streep and Glenn Close are also all in the spotlight.

Billy Crysal has hosted the Oscars 8 times in the past and you know what they say, 9th times the charm.
Don’t get me wrong, Bill Crystal is an excellent entertainer, but I guess I was just excited for some new blood. After Eddie Murphy dropped out of the hosting gig, there were petitions to get the Muppets to host the show. Yep, this is a real thing, and was very close to happening, technicalities aside. With miserable suggestions like having stuffed puppets host the Academy Awards, we might as well get Kris Humphries to host the show. Amiright?!
