Summary: The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has never published a complete list of the 5,765 members who cast ballots for their annual Oscars. Despite the secrecy surrounding the Academy's membership, Nicole Sperling (https://twitter.com/#!/nicsperling) worked for months with her colleagues at the Los Angeles Times to confirm 5,100 members. Sperling explains the method behind the Times' research and some of the details they uncovered. Did you know only 2% of members are under the age of 40? Neither did we. While the Academy Awards may celebrate some of the big critical and financial successes of the past year, Aaron Rich (https://twitter.com/#!/aaron_rich), the gentleman blogger behind All The Movies I Watch (http://allthemoviesiwatch.blogspot.com/) joins us to discuss some of his top movies of 2011, many of which were overlooked by Oscar voters. If you watch the Oscars telecast this weekend you'll probably be doing so through a cable or satellite signal. Aero, a new company backed by the likes of Barry Diller, hopes to change that by providing those wishing to cut their cable cord with a special antenna capable of receiving broadcast television. That is if the inevitable law suits don't shut them down first. Of course we also cover the week's top entertainment headlines including Julie Taymor's royalty payments from Broadway's "Spider-Man", China's allowing more foreign films into the country and why Chris Pine's salary for his role in "Star Trek" was made public.
