The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences extends invitations to its biggest, and most diverse, class of new invitees ever.

Having promised to expand the diversity of not only their nominees but also their members, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced the list of 683 people invited this year to join their ranks—and the list is far more diverse than your average slate of Oscar nominees. From the acting branch (Oscar Isaac, John Boyega, Michael B. Jordan, Adepero Oduye) to the writers (Ryan Coogler, Ice Cube, Park Chan-wook), the names on the list aren’t just a who’s-who of exciting voices in film—they present a far bolder, more inclusive vision of the future than the Academy has ever had.
And the Academy knows it, too; the Class of 2016, as they’re called, is the largest group of invitees ever. A bar graph at the official Web site notes that the new class is 46% female and 41% people of color, compared to the 25% and 8%, respectively, who previously made up the Academy. By expanding their reach the Academy has not only included the recent Oscar winners who weren’t already members (Brie Larson, Mark Rylance, and Alicia Vikander all received invitations), but major international filmmakers who had somehow never made the cut (Catherine Breillat, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, and Lana and Lilly Wachowski have been invited to join the directors’ branch).
Looking at the actors’ branch in particular, it’s also just fun to think about all of these people voting on your Oscars—Tom Hiddleston has been invited, as have at least three veterans of the TV show Lost (Michelle Rodriguez, Daniel Dae Kim, Harold Perrineau), three members of the Wayans family (Damon Jr. , Keenan Ivory, and Marlon), and Broadway legend Patti LuPone. The writers’ branch now includes Tina Fey and Carol scribe Phyllis Nagy, the music branch has extended invitations to Will.i.am, Sia, and Mary J. Blige—the list goes on. Not all of these people will be in the room for next year’s Oscars, of course, but just imagine if they were.
Below is a list of the actors invited to join the Academy this year; for a full list of invitees, visit the Academy Web site.
Mahershala Ali, Anthony Anderson, Adam Beach, Kate Beckinsale,, Chadwick Boseman, John Boyega, Betty Buckley, Rose Byrne, Julie Carmen, Enrique Castillo, Morris Chestnut, Cliff Curtis, Loretta Devine, Carmen Ejogo, Idris Elba, America Ferrera, Vivica A. Fox, Andrew Garfield, Greta Gerwig, Jesse D. Goins, Bruce Greenwood, Carla Gugino, Luis Guzmán, Dennis Haysbert, Tom Hiddleston, James Hong, Oscar Isaac, O’Shea “Ice Cube” Jackson, Dakota Johnson, Cherry Jones, Michael B. Jordan, Daniel Dae Kim, Regina King, Brie Larson, Byung-? Lee, Nia Long, Sal Lopez, Ignacio López Tarso, Patti LuPone, Peter Mackenzie, Rachel McAdams, Eva Mendes, Tatsuya Nakadai, Adepero Oduye, Marisa Paredes, Nate Parker, Harold Perrineau, Jorge Perugorría, Silvia Pinal, Freida Pinto, Michelle Rodriguez, Anika Noni Rose, Cecilia Roth, Mark Rylance, Pepe Serna, Martin Starr, Elizabeth Sung, Sharmila Tagore, Tessa Thompson, Lorraine Toussaint, Glynn Turman, Gabrielle Union, Jacob Vargas, Alicia Vikander, Emma Watson, Damon Wayans, Jr., Marlon Wayans, Rita Wilson, and Daphne Zuniga
Damn, it seems people like Anthony Anderson, Morris Chestnut, Vivica Fox, and Idris Elba, Regina King, and Nia Long would have been in the Academy a long time ago. This is just proof that the Askenazi Jews and white ? didn't want us involved in there ? . Also, (and speaking from the perspective of a person who isn't an actor and who could really give a ? about the ? ,) this ? is kinda insulting and pandering. It's like these muthafuckas are like, "let's throw those black muthafuckas a bone, so they'll stop crying about being included in show ? that we really don't want them in. Kinda like when we change the race of character in a movie. They'll give muthafuckas this meaningless ? , but when it comes to giving black people the power to develop, greenlight, control the purse strings, and be the head of a television or movie studio, that's a totally different proposition. Suddenly muthafuckas are like, "Naw mayne. We're cool. We're HELLA COOL on that. Off topic, just off of the strength that Cube can vote for an Oscar, means that I'm old.
