Once again, it’s that time of year when the “Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences” sends out membership invites between Cannes and the fall film festivals.
The Oscars organization announced that it has given offers to 398 artists and executives who have distinguished themselves by their contributions to motion pictures more than the previous year.
Along with above-the-line professionals like casting directors, cinematographers, costume designers, film editors, makeup artists and hairstylists, production designers and sound engineers the list also includes actors, directors, writers, producers, musicians, executives, artist reps and publicists.
Academy CEO Bill Kramer and Academy President Janet Yang said in a statement:
“The Academy is proud to welcome these artists and professionals into our membership, They represent extraordinary global talent across cinematic disciplines and have made a vital impact on the arts and sciences of motion pictures and on movie fans worldwide.”
Who are the Invited Members of the Oscars?
The 398 artists and executives accepted to join the group include Taylor Swift, Austin Butler, Ke Huy Quan, Keke Palmer, NT Rama Rao Jr. and others.
