Academy Elects Board of Governors 

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences also announced its newly elected 2019-20 board of governors. Members will assume their posts July 1.

Newly elected:

  • Ellen Kuras, Cinematographers Branch
  • Ruth Elaine Carter, Costume Designers Branch
  • Donna Gigliotti, Executives Branch
  • Howard Berger, Makeup Artists and Hairstylists Branch
  • Jennifer Yuh Nelson, Short Films and Feature Animation Branch

As a result of this election, the number of female Academy governors increases from 22 to 24, and people of color increases from 10 to 11, including the three new governors-at-large – DeVon Franklin, Rodrigo Garcia and Janet Yang – recently announced.

Balloting in the Academy’s Film Editors Branch produced a tie between candidates Dody Dorn and Mark Goldblatt, necessitating a runoff election. Voting will begin Monday, June 17, and end Tuesday, June 18. The Academy last held runoff elections in 2018 for the Producers Branch and in 2016 for the Film Editors Branch.

The Academy’s 17 branches are each represented by three governors, who may serve up to three consecutive three-year terms. The board of governors sets the Academy’s strategic vision, preserves the organization’s financial health, and assures the fulfillment of its mission.
