There is a big change at the helm of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Wednesday.
Jacqueline Stewart, the distinguished academic and TCM host who has led the museum since July 2022, guiding it through the ups and downs of its first few years (it opened in late 2021) after the museum’s founding director and president Bill Kramer became the CEO of the entire Academy, is being replaced by Amy Homma, who has been with the museum for five years, most recently as its chief audience officer.
Stewart, a 2021 MacArthur Foundation Fellow, is returning to her faculty position at the University of Chicago, having presided over the opening of numerous exhibitions — most recently the museum’s much-anticipated first permanent one, Hollywoodland: Jewish Founders and the Making of a Movie Capital — as well as having initiated the museum’s first strategic planning process and made new galleries bilingual.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has named sports executive Christine Simmons its new chief operating officer — a post that has been unfilled for the past five years.
Simmons, president and COO of the Los Angeles Sparks, will assume her new role in January and report directly to AMPAS CEO Dawn Hudson. The COO position has been vacant since 2013, when Ric Robertson departed.
“There has been — and continues to be — a sea change in our film community, our Academy, and in the culture at large,” Hudson said on Thursday. “Christine brings both nonprofit and corporate management expertise, an ability to implement creative solutions, and a love of film to our Academy. It’s the perfect moment for an innovative thinker.”
The Academy has been attempting to diversify its membership in recent years and added a record 928 members in June to bring its total membership to more than 9,200.
