Deadline – Awkwafina, Kaitlyn Dever, Cynthia Erivo, Beanie Feldstein, Brian Tyree Henry, Niecy Nash, Florence Pugh, Lakeith Stanfield, Olivia Wilde and John David Washington are among the 819 film professionals who have been invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the Academy announced on Tuesday. The number falls short of the 842 new members who were invited last year and the record 928 who received invitations in 2018, but it marks the fifth consecutive year of large new classes of members, with a particular focus on bringing more women and people of color into the organization.
