Laura Dern in the running for Academy president
Laura Dern
Los Angeles - Arab Today
Two-time Oscar nominee Laura Dern is reportedly in contention for the position of President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
With current president Cheryl Boone Isaacs set to term out at the end of July, the board of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will soon be voting on new leadership.
According to several sources, the actress is interested in taking over the reins after being elected to the board of governors last July, reports Variety. If she runs and wins, she would be the fourth woman to hold the office, after Isaacs, Bette Davis and Fay Kanin.
Dern did not respond to a request for comment. It’s generally frowned upon by the Academy for anyone to be seen as campaigning for the position of president.

Paris - Al Maghrib Today
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.
