The AMPAS (as it's abbreviated in the article) is only American, and more specifically USA-ian (although that's not a word), isn't it? If I were reading the article and didn't know what the Academy was, I'd think it was an international thing. I thought about changing it, but to be sure I wasn't wrong in this (which I'm 99% certain I'm not), I decided to ask. So, isn't it only an American academy? -- Sterio 20:06, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was formed to stave off the formation of any guilds or unions. Here's some quotes from the book "The Hollywood Writers' Wars", by Nancy Lynn Schwartz, Alfred A. Knopf publisher, New York, 1982, pg. 8..."Functioning actually as a company union, the Academy managed to delay any serious labor organizing in Hollywood for over five years." At the dinner at the Biltmore with the first 36 people, "Mayer harangued his guests, convincing them that an organization such as the Academy would be far preferable to any craft union that was antagonistic toward the producers." "In response to the producers' desire to control all unions, on May 11, 1927, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was established". Page 9: "The motion picture producers felt reassured by the Academy. They were aware of the struggles against producers and managers in New York by Actors' Equity and the Dramatists Guild, and they congratulated themselves on the creation of an organization that would keep the industry free from strong talent organizations." 69.104.55.216 ( talk) 19:42, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
Exactly. That's why it's important to not just take info from the Academy's web site and their own documents and present them as "truth." Bruriyah ( talk) 20:58, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
If you google "Oscars" right now all you'll see is info about the lack of diversity, the threatened boycott and the Academy's response. After initial denials there was any problem, the Academy is now taking steps it describes as "historic." We need to make sure that this topic stays up-to-date in the article, since there's always more interest in the Academy right about Oscar time rather than any other time of the year. Need to take out info that is not properly referenced , particularly stuff that's puffery or simply copied from the Academy web site.. Bruriyah ( talk) 21:05, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Should add a section on Academy expulsions: Carmine Caridi and Harvey Weinstein. Thanks. 32.209.55.38 ( talk) 16:52, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
Despite one prominent instance currently in the news, this "subject" (expulsion) can be summarized by a single sentence or two in Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences#Expulsion, and perhaps a note in Harvey Weinstein and Carmine Caridi stating concisely that each is one of only two people to be expelled. We don't need a separate article for every conceivable event, even those that are in the news. Should we also have Expulsion from the Producers Guild of America and Revocation of the Legion of Honour? No. Come on. --Animalparty! ( talk) 19:31, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
The intro doesn't explicitly and clearly state that this organization is primarily based in the USA. Could it be added?-- Adûnâi ( talk) 13:18, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
I saw a section was added for members who resigned, and it erroneously said, "As of April 1, 2022, only one recipient has voluntarily resigned membership from the organization." Other members have resigned including most recently Tom Fleischman who resigned in March. [1] Without diving deep in the research, I recall reading through the years of other members resigning for one reason or another. I adjusted the introduction paragragh but did not include Fleishchman, Peter Kurland or others who have resigned in the past. -- P37307 ( talk) 02:04, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
