Megan Ellison  Let's just get this out of the way. The fact that the 28-year-old Megan Ellison of Annapurna Pictures is the daughter of Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison has nothing to do with why she's on this nerd list. Nope, she's here because she's changing the direction of the industry by being passionate about what more producers in Hollywood should care about: bankrolling movies with real artistic merit. Zero Dark Thirty, American Hustle, Her. Good movies seem to be an obvious thing for a film producer to nerd-out on, but if Transformers is any indication, that's no longer the case in this town.
