Academy Invites 176 New Members

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences invited 176 new members to join its ranks today. Below you will find my annotated notes, which include Oscar nominees and winners, additional screen credits, and information about the executives, public relations, at large and associate members, which were inexplicably left off of the Academy’s press release.

Over the next few days I will update all of the alphabetical pages to reflect these additions, as well as several other members who I have found information on within the past month. In the meantime, here are a few reflections as I looked through the list:

First, we should remember that Terrence Malick’s appearance on this list does not necessarily mean that the Academy has been snubbing him until now. After all, he doesn’t really seem like someone who likes to join things, and so it is also quite possible that they have invited him in the past, but that he has refused them (and still might again!). Similarly, we know that Alberto Iglesias appeared on the June 2006 Academy Invitation List, but he must be playing hard to get because he appears again on today’s list.

This list also dispels the popular notion that being nominated for an Oscar--or even winning one--guarantees you an invitation to join the Academy. For example, none of the winners for last year’s football documentary Undefeated made the cut. Similarly, Simon Chinn won his Oscar in 2009, and Ryuichi Sakamoto won his in 1998, and yet they are only now showing up on today’s list. The list also includes folks who received their first nominations in years past, but are just now making the cut. An initial look through the list shows that some invitees received their first nominations in 2011 (Lucy Walker), 2010 (Daniel Junge, Oren Moverman, Jonas Rivera), 2007 (Amy Berg, Peter Saraf), 2006 (Marshall Curry, Grant Heslov), 2003 (Nia Vardalos), 2000 (Amanda Forbis, Janet McTeer), 1988 (Sam Pollard, Fritz Gabriel Bauer), 1986 (Tom Berenger), and even as far back as 1980 (Glenn Silber). While it is possible that some of these represent second invitations, it is unlikely that all of them do.

I was also struck by how many of this year’s actors are arguably more famous for their television work than their films. Even if we give a pass to Bridesmaids’ Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig, we still have Screen Actors Guild President Ken Howard, The Mentalist’s Simon Baker, Justified’s Margo Martindale, and Law & Order’s S. Epatha Merkerson. Being on television obviously doesn't mean that they aren't deserving, it just points to the ways that today's media are intertwined, and perhaps helps us to understand how some of the television stars of yesteryear made it onto the Academy's rolls.

Finally, I have a request for all my readers to let me know if you see news stories saying which of these individuals are accepting the invitation. This will help me to mark them appropriately on the main pages at The Academy Members Project.
