Current Academy members propose new candidates for membership, with committees from the organizationis 14 branches deciding whether or not to extend invitations to them. Individuals nominated for Academy Awards are automatically considered for membership, but theyire not guaranteed an invitation. The Academy recently made a change last year that limits growth by 30 new members annually. Even if all 112 invitees become members, vacancies created by deaths and retirements will actually shrink membership compared to last year. New members will be inducted on Sept. 12.
