Motion Picture Academy Chooses 2021-22 Governors; Women Dominate Newly Elected Class

Among the first-timers is Rita Wilson for the actors branch, while Oscar- and Emmy-winning director Susanne Bier returns for a new term in the directors branch, as does two-time Oscar show producer Jennifer Todd for the producers branch.

The Academy’s 17 branches are each represented by three governors, who may serve up to two three-year terms , followed by a two-year hiatus, after which eligibility renews for up to two additional three-year terms, for a lifetime maximum of 12 years.
