Pictured: Wally Pfister is one of today’s most in demand cinematographers. His credits include Inception (for which he won the Academy Award), Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, Moneyball, The Prestige, Memento, and the documentary film Marley. He was invited to join the Academy in 2006 after being nominated for his first Oscar for Batman Begins.

As a reminder, Bold font is for confirmed AMPAS members that we are able to document conclusively. Standard font is for confirmed invitees, most of whom presumably accept. Italic font is for those believed to be members, but whose status has not been verified. Read why we are so cautious HERE.

I will be adding more pictures, as well as credits, awards, and of course new names as the project proceeds. And don’t forget to send me recommendations of Oscar voters I may have missed!
