The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has extended invitations to 534 individuals to join its membership this year, including 2025 Academy Award winners Mikey Madison, Kieran Culkin and Lol Crawley, and nominees Ariana Grande, Sebastian Stan and Brandi Carlile. Also invited are this year’s Oscars host Conan O’Brien, his predecessor Jimmy Kimmel, and their respective producers.

After receiving widespread acclaim for his performance at this year's Academy Awards, Conan O'Brien is set to return as host for the 98th Oscars, scheduled to take place on March 15, 2026.

Last year’s Academy Award winners—Emma Stone, Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr, and Da’Vine Joy Randolph—are set to grace the stage once again, this time as presenters at the 2025 Oscars.
