Five new images have been added to the Empire Magazine photoshoot in the gallery.

Hugh Jackman, who hosted the most recent Oscar show, has been invited to join the club. Last year’s acting nominees Anne Hathaway, Viola Davis, Taraji P. Henson, Melissa Leo and Michael Shannon all received a golden ticket, and such newly minted Oscar holders as composer A.R. Rahman and screenwriter Dustin Lance Black also made the cut.

There even was room for a number of members of Judd Apatow’s comedy posse: Michael Cera, James Franco, Seth Rogan and Paul Rudd.

On Tuesday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences issued invitations to 134 members of the film community to join the honorary body. There were a maximum 166 open slots to fill this year, but the branch committees endorsed fewer candidates than were proposed to them.

Voting membership in the organization has held steady at just fewer than 6,000 since 2003.

The directors branch extended invites to Oscar winner Danny Boyle, stop-motion animation whiz Henry Selick and one-man film studio Tyler Perry, among others.

Among the producers welcomed aboard are Paula Wagner, Cathy Konrad, James Lassiter and “Slumdog Millionaire’s” Christian Colson.

Other names ranged from such executives as Steve Beeks, Joe Drake and Erik Feig to cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle, another member of the “Slumdog” crew, and visual effects supervisor Van Ling.

New members will be welcomed into the Academy in September at an invitation-only reception at the Academy’s Fairbanks Center for Motion Picture Study in Beverly Hills.

“These filmmakers have, over the course of their careers, captured the imagination of audiences around the world,” Academy president Sid Ganis said. “It’s this kind of talent and creativity that make up the Academy, and I welcome each of them to our ranks.”

Sorry for the downtime over the past few days, I have been working behind the scenes converting the whole site, not just the news posts, to wordpress! I have no finished and put up our new layout, I hope you like it! If you find any errors please do let me know about them. I have looked through most of the site but there is still a chance that I may have missed some.

Thanks for being patient!

Hey guys,
I’m just working on the site and a new layout so don’t worry if things don’t work or if the site looks a little messy. It will all be fixed soon!

I’ve just added 300+ captures of James from the dvd extras in The Last King of Scotland – enjoy!

James McAvoy could soon be becoming a dad — his wife, Anne-Marie Duff, wants a baby.

“I would love to have a baby,” Duff, 38, told a Scottish newspaper. “As soon as the big fella makes it happen, it would be brilliant.”

“I’m not putting it off,” she added, “but unfortunately bodies don’t work that way.”

Anne-Marie also admitted, “Of course, I enjoy sex. I have nerve endings. I mean, who doesn’t?

“Well, I suppose if you have five kids you might not.”

McAvoy and Duff married three years ago and now live in London.
