Tiffany Haddish, Kumail Nanjiani & More Among Record 928 Invited to Join Academy | THR News

The Academy has significantly increased its membership to 928 new members, aiming to diversify its ranks. This effort began in 2014 following criticism over the lack of diversity among Oscar nominees. By 2016, the Academy's membership was predominantly white and male, prompting a commitment to double the number of women and diverse members by 2020. Each Academy branch selects new members based on specific criteria, including exceptional achievement in film. Notable new members this year include actors and filmmakers like Amelia Clark and Dave Chappelle.
