Oscars 2014 Nominations: 10 Things We Learned About This Year's Picks

5. Megan Ellison Is the New Queen of Hollywood...

If you're reading this and are 27, take a moment to reflect on the fact that producer Megan Ellison is the same age, and has already acted as producer on such films as True Grit, The Master and Zero Dark Thirty. It can't be much easier to learn that Ellison goes to the 2014 Oscars knowing that the films she represents this year have a collective 17 nominations between them; that's ten for American Hustle, five for Her and two for The Grandmaster, with American Hustle the current favourite to sweep the board. Even more depressingly, Ellison has been comfortably doing this since she was 23-years-old, and is the founder of Annapurna Pictures, which has been responsible for some of the most celebrated films of recent years. While making the rest of us wonder what the hell we've been doing with our lives, Megan Ellison is currently on her way to becoming one of Tinseltown's major players.
