The list of candidates for the 2020 Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences’ Board of Governors election is now out, with the winner in each branch being chosen directly from these entries rather than whittling it down to four finalists in each, as has been done previously. The list of candidates is made up of qualified AMPAS members who actually submit themselves.
Also new this year in the streamlined timetable, as Deadline exclusively reported May 16. The winners for the 17 open slots on the 54-member board will be chosen by preferential balloting, just like Best Picture race at the Oscars. Voting begins Monday and ballots are due back June 5.
The actors branch is the largest in the Academy and it also has drawn the biggest field of contenders for the one spot that is up. Incumbent governor Whoopi Goldberg is running for re-election against past governor Ed Begley Jr. vying to return to the board.

Midge Costin’s inspiring and educational documentary “Making Waves: The Art of Cinematic Sound” seems destined to wind up in the curriculum of film schools across the country. In a short but jam-packed 90 minutes, the film gives a broad but effective overview of the history of one of the industry’s most vital, yet misunderstood art forms, with a variety of participants from all ages and groups.
There’s a very good chance it will inspire a whole new generation to pursue a career in sound design, or at least to upgrade their home theater system.
“Making Waves” has a lot of ground to cover, and Costin — a sound editor on hit films like “Armageddon,” “Crimson Tide” and “Hocus Pocus,” now making her directorial debut — wisely doesn’t try to tackle it all at once. The first half of the documentary covers the history of sound design from the silent era to the present day,...

When only four percent of scripted TV shows feature Lgbt characters, what's a gay girl to do? Why, strap on your gay goggles and watch TV along with us, of course! Our handy appraisal scale is better than any old letter grade. Other sites A+. We say, "What about our lezzy-lady feelings?"

It was the big Halloween show this week!
The spooky-themed dances weren’t even close to being the scariest parts of this week’s show. Strap in.
Afterellen Bait
Actually, this week’s degree of AfterEllen bait depended on your capacity for self-deception. If you squinted very hard and thought of only good things, this week’s results show featured two performances by an up-and-coming young butch lesbian singer. Sure, she was a little mannered and poppy, but what potential!
