Which Of Sunday's Oscar Presenters Are Members Of The Academy -- And Which Are NOT!

This Sunday, the Oscars are going to bring out a wide range of diverse presenters and performers to help compensate for the all-white lineup of their acting nominees.


Since The Academy Members Project is the largest public list of Oscar Voters -- and of NON-Voters -- that you’ll find on the web, we thought we’d take a look at the roster to find out which of these presenters are members of Academy and which are not.


(Note that we’ve also done a similar analysis for this year’s nominees).


What we found is that over a third of the announced presenters and performers are NOT Academy members yet. Which begs the question: If the Academy is supposed to represent the best artists in the industry, why do they have to go outside their ranks so often for the telecast?
