Cinematographer Richard P Crudo, producer Gale Anne Hurd, composer David Newman and film editor Michael Tronick have been voted on for the first time.

The reelected governors are Craig Barron, visual effects branch; Annette Bening, actors; Don Hall, sound; Jeffrey Kurland, art directors; John Lasseter, short films and feature animation; Robert Rehme, executives; and Phil Robinson, writers.

Michael Apted from the documentary branch is returning after a hiatus, as are Cheryl Boone Isaacs from PR and Paul Mazursky from directors.
