Now that AMPAS has surpassed its goal of doubling its women and members of color, the group keeps pushing. The Hollywood Reporter dug into the data to see which branches have achieved parity and which have more work to do.
Since 2016, the actors branch has been the most assertive in racially diversifying, as the only branch to have extended more than half of its invitations to people of color, at 55.5 percent. In 2021, 69 percent of the branch’s new invitations went to nonwhite actors. Directors and music followed, while other branches remained overwhelmingly white, including visual effects , production design and film editing .
Throughout the A2020 drive, the organization struggled with being at the end of the industry’s pipeline. Who ultimately becomes an Oscar nominee is not just up to Academy members, but is also the product of decades of decisions made by film schools’ admissions departments, agents, producers and studio executives. To tackle that issue, the Academy has created a new initiative, Aperture 2025, which will attempt to use Oscar eligibility to encourage more inclusion at those earlier stages.
