The Academy's throwing a party, and we're all invited. Okay, technically, only 928 people are invited to become official members, which is still a historically large number of people for the prestigious organisation to roll out the welcome mat for. Judging by the announcement website , this is part of a larger push to diversify the members — who are responsible for determining little known things like the Oscars nominations — both by inviting more women to be involved in the voting process, as well as people of colour.
