The
Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Board of Governors voted
to reclassify the membership status of Artists’ Representatives (agents)
from Associates to Members-at-Large. As Members-at-Large, agents will
now have voting privileges.
The Academy is comprised of 17 branches, for the crafts ranging from Actors to Writers, and two membership status categories, Members-at-Large and Associates, to accommodate individuals whose work in the motion picture industry is not specific to one of the branches.
This reclassification will apply to current members and those agents being invited to join the Academy in 2020, yet to be announced.
