The Academy said in a statement posted late Tuesday night that the list includes artists and executives who have made substantial contributions to the theatrical motion picture industry. A commitment to inclusion, equity, and representation remains a priority in the selection process.

“The 2022 class is 44 per cent women, 37 per cent belong to underrepresented ethnic/racial communities, and 50 per cent are from 53 countries and territories outside the United States,” the Academy said in the statement.
