Recent Oscar winners Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Cord Jefferson, Justine Triet, Mstyslav Chernov and Arthur Harari are among the 487 film professionals who have been invited to become members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the Academy announced Tuesday.
The list of prospective new members, which is the largest group to be invited in four years, contains a number of other 2024 Oscar nominees as well: among them are actresses Danielle Brooks, Lily Gladstone and Sandra Hüller; composer Jerskin Fendrix; producers Ben LeClair and James Wilson; writers Samy Burch, David Hemingson and Tony McNamara; and writer-director Celine Song.
Jefferson, Song and Triet were all invited to join both the directors branch and the writers branch, and must choose one branch if they accept the Academy’s invitation.
