\n\tHowell Taylor, an Oscar-nominated film producer whose credits include both acclaimed indies (among them 2006\u2019s Half Nelson<\/em>, 2010\u2019s Blue Valentine<\/em> and 2016\u2019s Captain Fantastic<\/em>) and blockbuster studio films (such as 2018\u2019s A Star Is Born<\/em>, for which she received a best picture Oscar nomination), was first elected to the presidency a year ago. The 47-year-old, who, like the Beatles, hails from Liverpool, England, is the 37th person to hold the office.<\/p>\n

\n\tHowell Taylor joined the Academy in 2014 and was recruited to produce the 2020 Oscars telecast with Stephanie Allain. Later that same year, she was elected to represent the producers branch on the board of governors, and was re-elected to a second term three years later. Term limits require governors, after six consecutive years of service, to step away from the board for at least one year, so Howell Taylor is no longer a governor of the producers branch \u2014 but the board recently passed a bylaw amendment to allow a sitting Academy president to run for re-election to that role until they have served up to four consecutive one-year terms, with the goal of providing greater consistency and continuity to the board. So she remains on the board as an \u201cex oficio governor\u201d \u2014\u00a0a voting member representing the Academy, not a specific branch.<\/p>\n
