Lynette Howell Taylor has been elected as president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, succeeding Janet Yang.

The British Oscar-nominated producer of 'A Star Is Born' is the youngest person in 70 years and the first person born outside of the U.S. in 28 years to hold the position.

A strong performance of the box office doesn't guarantee Oscar gold, as even this Kurt Russell flop earned an Academy Award nomination.
