What you said about NC-17 films made me think of Tatum O'Neil, poor little Tatum. The year after she won when she presented she was dressed in a much too adult way, I have to find a picture of her somewhere but Nolan Miller did her dress and was kind of shocked by how mature she was to be her age. And Dangerfield was what the Academy needed. You have a point about Fanning, she is a good little actress and will more than likely make better choices that the current members of the Academy.

I remember when several years ago, comedian Rodney Dangerfield applied for membership and was rejected because his body of work supposedly wasn't distintcitve enough. But really, will Fanning's Best Film choices be any more infantile than the choices of so many Academy members? I'd say she'll fit right in... Now, here's wondering if Fanning will receive DVDs of unrated, NC-17, or "R' rated films to watch come Oscar time. Hey, Marcus,

To invite Fanning, good though she may be and Hayley Mills who proved herself as an actress decades before Fanning was even born, at the same time? But like the Academy Awards and nominations themselves it is all ceasing to be at all relevant, even in the film world. Does the Academy have and actual criteria at all for members, or anything?
