“Congratulations to makeup artist, Erzsébet Forgács for join the American Film Academy!”, the Hungarian Embassy in Washington DC said in a Facebook post praising Erzsébet Forgács.
We wrote in June that Erzsébet Forgács has been elected to the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS). As a result, Forgács will also determine which film will win an Oscar in 2024. This year, the Academy has recruited 398 film professionals to its illustrious team. Forgács will strengthen the section for make-up artists and hairstylists.
Erzsébet Forgács’s filmography includes films such as Az ajtó (The Door), Saul fia (Son of Saul), Napszállta (Sunset) and Csodálatos Júlia (Being Julia). According to the list on the Academy’s website, this year’s list of invitees includes several recent Oscar winners. Among them are the writer-director duo of Everything Everywhere All at Once, Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheiner, the film’s producer Jonathan Wang and one of the actors, Ke Huy Quan, as well as the director of All Quiet on the Western Front, Edward Berger, and his cinematographer James Friend.
New members of the Academy’s music section include big names such as Taylor Swift, The Weeknd and David Byrne. If everyone accepts the invitation, the number of members of the Academy will rise to 10,817, of whom 9,375 will be eligible to vote in next year’s Oscars.
