Every year, the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences holds a not-so-little recruitment drive, sending out invitations to several hundred Hollywood folk asking them if they wouldn’t like to come and vote for the Oscars for the next few years. Often, this list leans heavily on people who were nominated, or won, at the ceremony in the previous year—and that’s certainly the case in 2025, with Best Supporting Actor and Best Actress winners Kieran Culkin and Mikey Madison, to pick just two names out of hundreds, both making the list. Also Ariana Grande, Dune stars Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa, Naomi Ackie, Aubrey Plaza, Gillian Anderson… and that’s just pulling from the actors, with a total of 534 names on the overall roster.
Those who accept the invitation will be joining a pretty massive fraternity of filmmakers, in many different disciplines: The Academy doesn’t publicize its actual membership rolls, but it’s believed to have about 10,000 voting members. And while we could just sit here and continue to cherry-pick names we find personally interesting from the incoming class, it’s probably just easiest to drop the whole list for mass perusal.
