The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced that they have extended invitations to 397 artists and executives who have distinguished themselves by their contributions to theatrical motion pictures, to join the organisation. The 2022 class is 44 per cent women, 37 per cent belong to underrepresented ethnic/racial communities, and 50 per cent are from 53 countries and territories outside the United States.
Membership selection is based on professional qualifications, with an ongoing commitment to representation, inclusion and equity remaining a priority. There are 71 Oscar nominees, including 15 winners, among the invitees. Four individuals (noted by an asterisk) have been invited to join the Academy by multiple branches.
