The new class of the Academy of Motion Pictures is here\u2014and everyone, please get out of the way for Jacob Elordi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Elordi has had quite this year: After splintering from the Sam Levinson<\/strong> school of acting, he manifested a role<\/a> in a film by one of his favorite directors (Guillermo del Toro<\/strong>\u2019s Frankenstein), and got nominated for an Oscar, AND was the Heathcliff of Margot Robbie<\/strong>\u2019s dreams<\/a> in Wuthering Heights, AND is traversing the world with new GF Kendall Jenner<\/strong><\/a>, AND AND AND has now been invited to join the Academy of Motion Pictures. Basically, he took the Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet Substance and can\u2019t stop winning at life.\u00a0<\/p>\n Joining Elordi on the list of future Oscar voters are Jenna Ortega<\/strong>, Julia Garner<\/strong>, Teyana Taylor<\/strong>, Josh O\u2019Connor<\/strong>, Mia Goth<\/strong>, Jon Bernthal<\/strong>, the Safdie Brothers<\/strong>, and more. These actors have done their time in indie films, blockbusters, and Netflix shows (and, for Elordi,\u00a0Euphoria),<\/span>\u00a0and now are deservedly earning their spot at the voters\u2019 tables.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are delighted to invite this remarkable group of film artists and professionals from around the world to join the Academy,\u201d said the Academy CEO and President in a statement. \u201cThrough their commitment to filmmaking, this year\u2019s exceptionally talented class has made significant contributions to our global movie industry.\u201d Elordi in Saltburn was indeed a significant contribution to our global movie industry.<\/p>\n And more good news for the world of cinema\u2014of the 529 new invitees<\/a> of actors, directors, cinematographers, film executives, and more, 42% women, 56% from underrepresented communities, and 53% drawn from 60 countries outside the United States, which marks significant progress<\/a> in bringing equity to the historically white male-washed award show. If all new invitees were to accept, the academy would consist of 10,338 voting members: 36% of whom would be women, 25% from underrepresented communities, and 22% international. Still a ways to go, and unfortunately, Elordi\u2019s invite isn\u2019t helping that statistic.\u00a0<\/p>\n Anyway, by pure coincidence (or maybe exactly as the stars were meant to align), today is Elordi\u2019s 29th birthday, which I discovered via social media, NOT because I am a stalker. Earlier this week, Elordi and Jenner were spotted visiting his home country of Australia<\/a> ahead of his birthday, looking very chic, I might add. This vacation comes shortly after they were spotted on vacation in Japan<\/a>, which came shortly after they were spotted on a getaway trip to Hawaii<\/a>. Ya know, God might have her favorites.<\/p>\n So, happy birthday, congratulations, welcome to the club, safe travels, all of the above!<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
