LOS ANGELES, California -- Ever wonder how Oscar voters fill out their ballots? Eyewitness News entertainment reporter Sandy Kenyon sat down with some of this year's participants to find out how they vote.They are members of the Motion Picture Academy, invited to join by their peers and there are fewer than 10,000 Oscar voters.
Some have names you know, but most do not. The actors branch of the academy is the largest, but they are outnumbered by thousands more voters behind the scenes. Considered as a whole, the membership of the Motion Picture Academy has become more diverse in recent years.Sandy Kenyon has a behind-the-scenes look at the Oscars red carpet.
"I took the change in membership very seriously and so I want to really look and truly watch and not be in your phone as you're watching these movies but truly focus on some of the films that don't get talked about as much," actor and Oscar voter Gabrielle Union said."It's a privilege in fact, something I grew up watching the Oscars and I consider it an honor today that I get to vote for them," Michael Nathanson said.
Nathanson is a veteran studio chief who has been a voter for 30 years. He's a former Oscar nominee himself, but now he's CEO at IndieWorks: a company that uses new technology to distribute movies more efficiently.
