What do Paul Newman, Steven Spielberg, and Jennifer Aniston (pictured) have in common?

Why, theyre all members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences!

And shes certainly not the only prospective newbie Oscar voter: Boldface names likeSteve Carell,J.J.

Ja_l

while the devil on my left shoulder is grumbling, Um, Jennifer Aniston?

Cmon, get real.

Im really torn, PopWatchers!

(I also probably need to see a shrink, or something.)

And Im downright shocked that Christopher Plummer was never brought into Hollywoods elite club.

But, eh,reallyJennifer Aniston?

Shes got an Emmy and is a really nice lady, but she hasnt done a ton in film.

Dont get me wrong: Theyre both talented and charming.

Im just thinking that the Academys criteria for membership should consist of more than just popular appeal.

Well, okay, that, and Im also incredibly jealous of them.

(The devil is cheering, Woot!

You, too, huh?

So who else on the list gets your angel and devil going?

Antoine Fuqua?Con Airauteur Simon West?

Your blood boiling yet?
