Photo sharing email and photostream questions

I'm still trying to figure out this iCloud thing. Two questions

1. When setting up a photo share stream, do the recipients need to have an actual @icloud.com email for their emails? Both me and my parents use gmail addresses for our icloud devices.

2. My photostream currently has 935 photos. I took some photos today on my sony camera, connected to my MacBook Pro this evening, and only 12 of 62 photos uploaded to photostream. All 62 show up in my photo albums however. Frustrated with this, I reset my modem, signed out of icloud, deactivated and er activated photos on icloud, reset both my mbp and ipad, turned photos back on, and still no luck. Then I took a couple photos on my ipad and both showed up instantly in my photostream. I have 935 photos in my stream with about 50 that haven't uploaded yet. In iPhoto, where it usually says "uploading 235 photos" it doesn't say anything. What do I need to do to make this happen?

Maybe I'll sleep on it and like magic it will be better in morning.

Thank you.
