The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures Board of Trustees said Tuesday that it has elected Netflix co-ceo Ted Sarandos as its chairman, a move that comes after previous chair Ron Meyer stepped down last month.
Sarandos had been the board’s vice-chair when he was named acting chair in the wake the departure of Meyer, who abruptly exited as vice chairman of NBCUniversal.
“Growing up a movie lover, I always wished for a place like the Academy Museum—somewhere I could lose myself in the magic of film,” Sarandos said today. “I am both honored and inspired to serve as chair, alongside the magnificent board of trustees and museum staff, as we work towards our April 2021 opening.”
In other Academy Museum voting, Miky Lee (Mie Kyung Lee) was elected vice-chair, and Paramount’s Jim Gianopulos was elected Treasurer. Kimberly Steward was re-elected to her role as Secretary.
