The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences has announced the 395 artists and executives that have been invited to join this year — about half the number of last year’s class. The 2021 class is comprised of 46% women, 39% underrepresented ethnic/racial communities and 53% international from 49 countries outside the United States. Of the 325 invitees, 89 are former Oscar nominees, including 25 winners.
Eight individuals have been invited to join by multiple branches and must select one branch upon acceptance. They include Leslie Odom Jr (actors and music, “One Night in Miami”), Kaouther Ben Hania (directors and writers, “The Man Who Sold His Skin”), Craig Brewer (directors and writers, “Hustle & Flow”), Lee Isaac Chung (directors and writers, “Minari”), Emerald Fennell (directors and writers, “Promising Young Woman”), Shaka King (directors and writers, “Judas and the Black Messiah”), Alexander Nanau (directors and documentary, “Collective”), Florian Zeller (directors and writers, “The Father”).
In May, AMPAS announced that in an effort to enable steady growth and support for all members, the organization is reducing the number of invited to roughly half of the recent years (the 2020 class was 819 members). The Academy’s Board of Governors voted on branch-specific guidelines for determining membership. Oscar winners and nominees are considered without limitation to applicable branches. Those who accept the invitations will the only additions to the membership in 2021.

Also, when I read the name Maya Daisy Hawke among the invitees for the documentary branch, I thought “Oh my God, Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman’s daughter was invited to join the wrong branch!” But then it turns out that Maya Daisy Hawke is indeed a different person; she’s a documentary editor. Maya Hawke the actress has a full name of Maya Ray Thurman Hawke.
ReplyCopy URLSorry if this sounds dumb (I’m new to this) what does this mean? Do they get to decide which movies get nominated/win (or some influence) ?
Each branch of the Academy can only choose the nominees for its own branch’s category. For example, the actors can only choose the nominees for the acting categories, the cinematographers for best cinematography, directors for best director, and so on and on.
Best Picture is the only category where anyone can choose the nominees. Then, the winners for every single category are voted on by all the members of the Academy. Hope this clears it up!
