The twelve individuals noted by an asterisk have been invited to join the Academy by multiple branches. These individuals must select one branch upon accepting membership.
The Academy’s membership process for its 19 branches and one membership classification is conducted by sponsorship, not application. Except for Associates, candidates must be sponsored by two Academy members from the branch or category to which the candidate seeks admission. In addition, Academy Award nominees are automatically considered for membership in the year in which they are nominated and do not require sponsors.
Branch executive committees review candidates, and recommendations for membership are considered and approved by the Academy’s Board of Governors. Associate membership is extended by invitation only through the Membership Committee and the Board of Governors in honor of service to the Academy and commitment to the film industry.
Membership selection is based on professional qualifications, with an ongoing commitment to representation, inclusion and equity remaining a priority. Of the 2025 invited class, 41% are women, 45% belong to underrepresented communities, and 55% are from 60 countries and territories outside the United States. There are 91 Oscar nominees, including 26 winners, and three Scientific and Technical Award winners among the invitees.
Demographic information is provided by the candidate when possible or projected through publicly available research and will be confirmed by members upon acceptance. Those who accept the invitations will be the only additions to the Academy’s membership in 2025.
