Nicole Sperling explains how she worked for months with colleagues at the Los Angeles Times to confirm most of the Academy's secret membership list. Their research uncovered the fascinating demographics behind those casting ballots for the Oscars each year. Did you know only 2% of Academy members are under the age of 40? Neither did we.
Also on this podcast is Aaron Rich from All The Movies I Watch. He highlights some of his favorite films from the past year, many of which the Academy overlooked.

If you're wondering why certain movies win Oscars, it helps to know that the voters are mainly old, white men (the median age is 62!). The LA Times has a great breakdown of members and staff writer Nicole Sperling talked to us about how they reported it. But it's even more fun to see blogger Aaron Rich and I share our picks for the top movies of the year. Hint: our top pick is the same and it includes dinosaurs and Sean Penn.
