The invitees include Oscar-winning actor Da’Vine Joy Randolph and nominee Lily Gladstone, with 44% identifying as women and 41% from underrepresented ethnic/racial communities.
Hollywood's most exclusive club is throwing open its golden gates once again, with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announcing Tuesday it is extending invitations to 487 new members. Representing 57 countries, the list of invitees includes high-profile names like Lily Gladstone, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Jessica Alba and Catherine O’Hara alongside numerous less starry but still accomplished performers, filmmakers, executives and below-the-line professionals.
Since reaching its post-#OscarSoWhite goal of doubling the number of women and people of color in its membership ranks in 2020, the academy has brought down its more recent class sizes to ensure it can continue to support its rapidly growing membership. Including the new class, 35% of the academy's members now identify as women, and 20% are from underrepresented ethnic/racial communities, maintaining and slightly improving upon last year’s benchmarks.
