Oscars Invite Jennifer Aniston, Daniel Craig To Judge

With all the awards shows having come and gone, one has to wonder how people are nominated and winners are chosen. For the Oscars, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences makes the call. And Jennifer Aniston and Daniel Craig have been invited to join the squad.

Jennifer Aniston has been big news lately, with her SmartWater campaign, and her new British boyfriend. She’s even trying her hand at producing. So it’s no wonder that the Academy wants her on board.

And Daniel Craig, best known for his work as 007, has also been given the opportunity to serve on the Academy. Other actors asked to join this year include Jennifer Hudson, Eddie Murphy and 40-Year-Old Virgin Steve Carell.

"These individuals are all exceptionally accomplished in their respective fields," Academy president Sid Ganis said. "We're looking forward to having them join the Academy's ranks."
