Announcing the 12 New Acting Members of the Oscars Acting Branch
My parlor game in which I predict the Academy’s New Actors
What if the Academy publicly invited 12 people a year into their acting branch and made a big deal about it with a ceremony of its own (like the Oscar Academy Luncheon)? Wouldn’t that be better than a press release? It could also help combat complaints of diversity because whether the minorities win, they at least get their own ceremony.
The Academy currently includes a press release with 200 or so new members with a number that varies in the acting branch, but what if the acting branch was constant? :
I did a simulation where I pick the 12 every year with the criteria that they had to be in a film that came out that year.
So if I had to pick the 12 from this year that aren’t in the Academy. My guesses are based on my own simulation that I’ve run since 2007 .
I would say:
1 Jacob Elordi (Saltburn, Priscilla)
2 Michael Cera (Barbie)
3 Pete Davidson (Dumb Money)
4 Maya Hawke (Maestro, Asteroid City)
5 Ramy Yousef (Poor Things)
