Maybe she was one of those invitees in past years that kept refusing and this new method was meant to shame them into joining?

I'm really surprised it took them so long to invite Nastassja Kinski. One would imagine she would have been a member since the 1980s when she was a ''name'' in Hollywood. Who remembers her now especially since she hardly appears in anything worthwhile.

That always seems to happen. Nastassia Kinski was the one that really made me go "Now? Not 30 years ago?"

Wow do the names in the actors branch suck.

There are some excellent ones (Peter Dinklage, Robbie Coltrane, Ellen Page), but there are some real disappointing selections (Gerard Butler, Mila Kunis, Russell Brand, Beyonce).

Just follow the link to my article listing them.
