Chris Hemsworth and Margot Robbie may not have Oscars but they will now be able to help decide who wins them.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has beefed up its Australian membership, with Hemsworth, Robbie, Joel Edgerton, Nick Cave and Rebel Wilson, on the back of her Australian court win, among the new recruits invited to join Hollywood’s most exclusive club.
The Academy announced a 359% increase in the number of women invited to join since 2015 and a 331% jump in invites to people of colour over the same period.
The Academy, organiser of the Oscars, announced on Wednesday that 774 artists from 57 countries had been extended membership invitations, a huge bump in the number it historically hands out each year.
