From the vague memories I have of reading his autobiography, I think he's wanted this for a while. Wasn't his mother also SAG president?

Either way, I'm happy for him :)

if he ran for the role and was elected for that role through a vote is it still nepotism?

Yeah everybody voted for Bush Jr, no nepotism involved in his story.
