Jacob Elordi, Jenna Ortega and Teyana Taylor have reached a major milestone in their careers after receiving invitations to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
The Academy announced that 529 people from the film industry were selected for this year’s guest list.
Then, if they accept, they will become members and have the opportunity to vote for future Oscar winners.
The list includes some of Hollywood’s biggest rising stars. Also invited were Elordi, Ortega and Taylor, actors Jon Bernthal, Julia Garner, Josh O’Connor, Simu Liu, Bill Skarsgård, Paddy Considine and Stephen Fry.
The Academy said this year’s group includes 95 Oscar nominees, 21 Oscar winners and three people who received scientific and technical awards.
In a joint statement, Academy CEO Bill Kramer and Academy President Lynette Howell Taylor praised the guests for their work in film.
“We are delighted to invite this remarkable group of artists and film professionals from around the world to join the Academy,” they said.
The organization, however, also highlighted efforts to attract members from different backgrounds.
According to the Academy, 42 percent are women, 56 percent come from underrepresented communities, and 53 percent are from countries and territories outside the United States.
