Question: Who gets invited to the Oscars?

Who (besides, obviously, the nominees, Academy members and presenters) are all those people at the Oscars? And how does that invitation process work?

I know sponsors (advertisers) and network people get invites.

The Oscars no longer use professional seat fillers, by the way.

All I can tell you is that I have a friend who is going as a date for a producer and I'm wicked freakin' jealous.

So, you know, if you want to go, just be eye candy. ;)

According to Wikipedia, the Academy has 5,000+ members. So maybe they're all Academy members, nominees, sponsors, and dates...
