The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences continues its tradition of recognizing exceptional talent in the film industry by extending invitations to distinguished artists and executives. This year, the prestigious Oscars group has invited 398 individuals, including renowned Nigerian filmmakers and writers, to join its esteemed ranks. This recognition highlights their remarkable contributions to the world of motion pictures and represents a significant step towards a more inclusive and diverse film community.
Among the invitees are actors, directors, writers, producers, musicians, executives, and various other professionals who have excelled in their respective fields. The 2023 class is particularly noteworthy for its diversity, with women comprising 40% of the invitees and 34% representing underrepresented ethnic and racial communities. This class also boasts representation from 51 countries and territories outside the United States, emphasizing the global reach of cinema and the Academy’s commitment to recognizing talent from around the world.
One remarkable aspect of this year’s invitations is the fact that several branches have invited more women than men, including casting directors, costume designers, makeup artists and hairstylists, and marketing and public relations. Furthermore, the Actors and Directors branches have extended invitations to a significant number of candidates from underrepresented ethnic and racial backgrounds. This intentional effort to promote diversity and inclusivity within the Academy is a positive step towards creating a more representative film industry.
In a joint statement, Academy CEO Bill Kramer and Academy President Janet Yang expressed their pride in welcoming these artists and professionals into the prestigious membership. They acknowledged the exceptional global talent exhibited by these individuals across different cinematic disciplines and recognized their significant impact on the arts, sciences, and movie enthusiasts worldwide. The Academy’s commitment to recognizing excellence and promoting diversity is evident in the diverse composition of this year’s invitee class.
Among the notable invitees from Nigeria is Richard Eyimofe Evans Mofe-Damijo, popularly known as RMD, a veteran Nigerian actor and former Commissioner for Culture and Tourism in Delta State. His contributions to Nigerian cinema and his distinguished career have earned him a well-deserved place among the invited members. Jadesola Osiberu, a prominent Nigerian writer, director, and producer, and the founder of Greoh Studios, has also been recognized for her notable works, including “Isoken” (2017), “Sugar Rush” (2019), “Brotherhood” (2022), and “Gangs of Lagos,” the first Nigerian original film exclusively streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
Additionally, Nigerian writers Shola Dada and Kunle Afolayan have been acknowledged for their remarkable contributions to the industry. Shola Dada’s work on “Anikulapo” has garnered critical acclaim, while Kunle Afolayan’s directorial endeavors, including “The Figurine” and “October 1,” have made him a prominent figure in Nigerian cinema. Nigerian director C.J. “Fiery” Obasi, known for his films “Mami Wata” and “Ojuju,” has also been invited, further solidifying Nigeria’s presence in the global film community.
The Academy’s invitation to these talented individuals from Nigeria reflects the increasing recognition of the country’s vibrant film industry, often referred to as Nollywood. Nigerian filmmakers and writers have long been making significant contributions to cinema, and their inclusion in the Academy signifies the growing importance of African cinema on the global stage.
With the acceptance of these invitations, the total number of Academy members, including Emeritus, will reach 10,817, with the voting members totaling 9,375. As the film industry continues to evolve and embrace diversity, the Academy’s commitment to recognizing outstanding talent from around the world remains crucial. By inviting accomplished Nigerian filmmakers and writers, the Oscars signal their recognition of the rich contributions made by African cinema and their dedication to fostering a more inclusive and representative film community.
The Academy’s efforts to expand its membership and recognize diverse voices reflect a positive shift in the film industry. As the invited members accept their membership and contribute to the Academy’s future, we can expect an even more dynamic and inclusive Oscars community. This recognition serves as an inspiration for aspiring filmmakers and writers from all backgrounds, emphasizing the importance of diverse perspectives in storytelling and the power of cinema to bridge cultures and create meaningful connections.
