This morning The Guardian published a very interesting list of who they considered to be the most powerful 100 people in the film industry today. This top 100 has already caused much debate with its omissions and inclusions, but the decision to put Avatar director James Cameron at the top of the list is a correct one we feel. If your a big film fan then you are probably a user of Twitter, so we thought it would be really useful if went through the list and found out which of the ’Film Power’ elite are on Twitter, so that you can follow them. Many of the acting celebrities on the list don’t use the site, but there are plenty of people pretending to be them so we’ve sorted the real from the fakes for you, and whilst quite a few of the studio heads aren’t on the site as a personal feed, we’ve including the main studio account instead. And of course whilst your following all these people, don’t forget to follow The Film Pilgrim!
