Several names who were overlooked in the last round of Oscar nominations made the cut — like Beasts of No Nation's Idris Elba (actors) and Cari Fukunaga (directors) and Creed star Michael B. Jordan. And Nate Parker, who directed and stars in The Birth of a Nation, which caused a sensation at Sundance and is expected to figure in the upcoming awards conversation, was also invited to join the actors branch.
