: : Does anyone know what kind of university or experience you need to be part of the academy that hands out the oscars? I want to do something like that(if it pays well and I get to meet lots of actors)or else be a part of Lucasfilm Ltd. What kind of school should I go to?

: Kate, the Academy membership is a very selective, exclusive group. To qualify for membership, one needs to
: 1. Have been nominated for an Academy Award, or
: 2. Have a significant body of work, or
: 3. Made a significant contribution to motion pictures, with proper references.
: It's not so much a quoata, as it is approval by the Academy Board of Governors. It is NOT a public forum, nor is it composed of people within the press (i.e: film critics).
: I know all this because I've written membership applications myself for several people. Hope that this was informative.
