behalf of the academy of motion picture arts and sciences with humble acknowledgment of your experience at the 45th academy awards as you stood on the oscars stage in 1973 to not accept the oscar on behalf of marlon brando in recognition of the misrepresentation and mistreatment of native american people by the film industry you made a powerful statement that continues to remind us of the necessity of respect and the importance of human dignity the abuse you endured because of this statement was unwarranted and unjustified the emotional burden you have lived through and the cost to your own career in our industry are irreparable for too long the courage you showed has been unacknowledged for this we offer both our deepest apologies and our sincere admiration we cannot realize the academys mission to inspire imagination and connect the world through cinema without a commitment to facilitating the broadest representation and inclusion reflective of our diverse global population today nearly 50 years later and with the guidance of the academys indigenous alliance we are firm in our commitment to ensuring indigenous voices the original storytellers are visible respected contributors to the global film community we are dedicated to fostering a more inclusive respectful industry that leverages a balance of art and activism to be a driving force for progress we hope you receive this letter in the spirit of reconciliation and as recognition of your essential role in our journey as an organization you are forever respectfully engrained in our history with warmest regards david rubin president academy of motion picture arts and sciences

the academy did after they created the oscars in 1929 was to propose building a movie museum in los angeles the oscars honor individual achievements in filmmaking year by year one night a year but an academy museum would honor the art of film itself 365 days a year for all time that was what the founders dared to imagine nearly a century ago this is the museum of filmmakers everywhere made for

embraces and champions the diversity of artists who have always been present in the film industry then and now ted sarandos said when i moved to los angeles i thought that i would find a museum that would honor the art of film and the role that movies play in our lives but that place didnt exist somehow there was no film center here in the global center of film now we have the academy museum which is opening to the public for the first time today but already feels as if its been here forever that shows you in itself how much this museum has been needed
