Academy Invites Record 928 New Members
Quvenzhané Wallis, Chloé Zhao, Justin Simien, Timothée Chalamet among the Academy’s invites
AMPAS, the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences, has invited a record 928 new members to their ranks, more than any single year in their history. This follows two years of extraordinary growth (774 in 2017 and 683 in 2016 – compared to 322 in 2015) in the Academy’s diversity push to broaden its membership to bring in more women and people of color following two years in a row (2014 and 2015) of all white acting nominees.
As recently as early 2016, the makeup of the Academy was still 92% white and 75% male. The 928 invitees represent 59 countries, are 49% female and 38% people of color. They include 17 Oscar winners and 92 Oscar nominees. Nine branches invited more women than men (Actors, Casting Directors, Costume Designers, Documentary, Executives, Film Editors, Makeup Artists & Hairstylists, Producers and Public Relations).
Ten individuals (noted by an asterisk) have been invited to join the Academy by multiple branches. These individuals must select one branch upon accepting membership. New members will be welcomed into the Academy at invitation-only receptions in the fall.
