Although Hugh Jackman hosted the 81st Academy Awards, the actor is actually not yet a member of the Academy club.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences sent invitations recently to the Wolverine star as well as other actors and filmmakers including Anne Hathaway, Michelle Williams, Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle, among others to join their roster.
As reported by the Hollywood Reporter, Academy president Sid Ganis stated, "These filmmakers have, over the course of their careers, captured the imagination of audiences around the world. It's this kind of talent and creativity that make up the Academy, and I welcome each of them to our ranks."
If Jackman and other people of the film community will become members of the club, they will be given the rare chance to vote in the Oscar race.
