Breakout stars Jacob Elordi and Teyana Taylor, along with Hollywood mainstays Jenna Ortega and Jon Bernthal, and new Disney CEO Josh D’Amaro are among the 529 invitees to the newest member class of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
The 2026 invitee list includes 95 Oscar nominees — 21 of them winners — along with three Scientific and Technical Awards recipients. The list is a touch leaner than the 534 names extended invitations last year, though the makeup of the class is the bigger story.
