Incumbents carried the day in elections for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Board of Governors, the winners of which were announced on Monday. 11 current governors won re-election to represent the Academy’s 19 branches, with first-time governors elected largely in branches where the incumbent governors were unable to run for re-election because of term limits.
Actress Rita Wilson, cinematographer Paul Cameron, executive Pam Abdy, composer Lesley Barber and writer Howard Rodman were among the governors who were re-elected to a second three-year term representing their branches.
Most Academy branches are represented on the board by three governors, whose three-year terms are staggered so that one seat is up for election each year.
