I have now completed my first round of research on The Academy Members Project, and to date I have identified 2,642 Academy members -- almost 40% of the 6,608 total (including associate and retired members).
It has been two months since I announced this project and I want to take a moment to thank all my readers who have stuck around as these initial lists went up. Some of you loved them and some of you hated them, and there is good news for readers in both camps.
For those who hated this project, the good news is that all the index pages have been designed, meaning that my front page should be returning shortly to the regular mix of predictions, news and reviews that you enjoyed prior to the beginning of this project.
For those who loved the project, the good news is that I’m not done yet. I will continue to research new names, and add more credits and pictures as time allows. I will occasionally post progress updates here on the front page letting you know about a milestone or great find, but the rest of the time you can find the full list by using the link near the top of this page -- with all the research available 24/7 for the public, as promised.
And of course, I encourage everyone to send any names that I may have missed along the way. Together, I’m confident that we can identify the other 60%!

Know of an Academy member that we have missed? Think we have included someone who shouldn’t be here? The Academy Members Project is a work in progress, and welcomes your input!

I hope this means you now have the time to review a certain movie.
ReplyDeleteI'll give you a hint, this movie begins with an A.
It's definitely on my list. Sorry for the long wait!
DeleteI'm one of the readers only mildly interested in this project, but I respect the huge amount of research and organizing you had to do to put it together. Great job, and looking forward to the return to 'regular scheduled programming' :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Bonjour! It s definitely the kind of project that most people would only care about once or twice a year, but my obsession made me the perfect candidate to pull it all together!
DeleteAmazing! Can't believe this only 40%. This could turn into a lifetime of research! Looking forward to celebrating the day you hit 100% or is that too optimistic?
ReplyDeleteThanks Pete. This will definitely be a life long thing, but I would love to get to 100% and then I could just focus on new additions and In Memoriams!
DeleteAre you still alive? Its just that you havn't posted anything in over a week.
ReplyDeleteStill alive! I just had an incredibly busy few weeks at work, including some 14 hour days and even one 19 hour day, that completely depleted my brain power and blew up my sleep schedule.
