Dawn Hudson has signed on for another three years at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. According to Variety, the Academy’s Board of Governors voted to renew the CEO’s contract through June 2020. Hudson has been the Academy CEO since 2011, when she succeeded executive director Bruce Davis. She first renewed her contract in 2014.

As Variety notes, Hudson has overseen “one of the most tumultuous periods in the Academy’s history,” including two consecutive years of #OscarsSoWhite and the snafu at the 2017 ceremony, in which “La La Land” was mistakenly named Best Picture. The award was actually intended for “Moonlight.” The gaffe might be the reason Hudson “faced stiffer opposition on the Academy Board of Governors” when her contract renewal was put up for a vote.

In an email to the Academy members, Academy prez Cheryl Boone Isaacs stated, “We are confident in Dawn’s leadership of the Academy, and fully support her as she leads a strong and dedicated team of more than 350 into our ninth decade.” She added that the Board of Governors is “excited that [Hudson] will continue the Academy’s goals of globalization and inclusion, guide us towards the successful opening of an unprecedented movie museum, and lead us toward next year’s 90th Oscars.”

Isaacs’ statement refers to the Academy Movie Museum, one of Hudson’s current projects. The museum is now under construction in LA and is scheduled to open in spring 2019.

We’re happy to see Hudson extending her tenure at the Academy, especially since Isaacs is currently in her last year as president. Isaacs was re-elected for a fourth and final term last August. It’s rare for any organization to have two women in such high-up leadership roles. Of course, we’re pulling for another woman to succeed Isaacs, but, just in case, we’re thrilled that Hudson will be sticking around until 2020.
