Jacob Elordi and Teyana Taylor Join AMPAS

Jacob Elordi, Josh O’Connor, Teyana Taylor and Jenna Ortega are among 529 people invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), with the class slightly smaller than last year’s and far below the 800–900+ invite waves seen from 2016 to
For actors like Jacob Elordi, the invitation isn’t just a professional pat on the back—it’s a new seat at the table where Oscar conversations start to form early. Elordi is among 529 people invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), announced Wednesday.
The total is a slight drop from the 534 invited to join last year and a significant reduction from the classes of 800. 900 and more that received invitations during the post-#OscarsSoWhite membership drive from 2016 to 2020. During that span, the Academy doubled the number of its female members and people of color.
Since AMPAS reached that goal in 2020, it has cut back on its new-member invites, with last year’s class described as the largest in four years.
Elordi. along with Josh O’Connor. Teyana Taylor and Jenna Ortega. received invitations to join the Actors Branch. which extended invitations to 29 new members. Others invited to the Actors Branch include Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas. Jon Bernthal. Jemaine Clement. Paddy Considine. Josh Gad. Julia Garner. Mia Goth. Suzy Eddie Izzard. Scoot McNairy. Tig Notaro. Lily Rabe. Bill Skarsgård and Jenny Slate.
Invitations also went to directors Oliver Laxe, James Ponsoldt and Benny and Josh Safdie, and to casting director Cassandra Kulukundis, who in March won the first-ever Oscar for casting for “One Battle After Another.”
Some recent Oscar nominees were also among the invite list. “Hamnet” producers Liza Marshall and Nicolas Gonda received invitations, as did “Sentimental Value” producers Maria Ekerhovd and Andrea Berentsen Ottmar. The invitations also included “Bugonia” writer Will Tracy and “KPop Demon Hunters” songwriters Ejae and Mark Sonnenblick.
Across the branches, most extended invitations in the 20-to-30 range. The Animation Branch invited the most new members. with 43 invitations. followed by the Documentary Branch with 42 and the Visual Effects Branch with 37. The Makeup Artists and Hairstylists Branch invited the fewest, with just 10 new members.
There’s also a small set of people who won’t be able to take every door opened for them. Nine people were invited by multiple branches but must choose a single branch to join. Those include Oliver Laxe and the Safdies. who were invited by the Directors and Writers branches (with Josh Safdie also receiving an invitation from the Film Editors Branch); Ronald Bronstein. who was invited by the Film Editors and Writers branches; Chris Lavis. Florence Miailhe and Maciek Szczerbowski. who were invited by the Animation and Short Films branches; and Conall Jones and Craig Renaud. who were invited by the Documentary and Short Films branches.
Based on AMPAS’s figures, voting membership would rise to 10,338, and the organization would be 36% women, 25% from underrepresented communities and 22% international if every invitation is accepted. AMPAS does not disclose which prospective members accept invitations and which decline.
Each branch has its own membership requirements, though those requirements can be waived for Oscar nominees or winners. Committees from each branch review prospective members and make recommendations to the Board of Governors, which has the final say on which candidates are invited to join.

AMPAS Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Jacob Elordi Josh O’Connor Teyana Taylor Jenna Ortega Actors Branch Oscar membership Oliver Laxe Safdie Brothers Cassandra Kulukundis
Wait so Jacob Elordi is literally in the Oscar club now? Wild.
I mean it’s cool but 529 feels like not enough? They used to do like 800-900 or whatever so why they cutting it. Also does being invited mean they automatically vote for Oscars or is it just like a networking thing?
I feel like this is just for optics. Like “Oscar conversations start early” yeah okay… also I thought Jenna Ortega already had some kind of membership or something? Maybe I’m mixing it up with SAG or Golden Globes. Either way, seems like the Academy keeps changing the rules every year.
So they invited all these people and somehow it’s cause of #OscarsSoWhite but now it’s smaller so does that mean they’re less diverse or what? Like the article says they doubled female and people of color back then, but then they “cut back” invites. Cutting invites doesn’t sound like progress to me, idk.
