Founded in 1927, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is the world’s preeminent movie-related organization, comprising more than 10,000 accomplished individuals working in cinema.
The Academy is known around the world for its annual Academy Awards, now officially and popularly known as “The Oscars”.
In her post, Akindele wrote, “Wow!!!! I’m so happy!!! Getting an invitation as a member of THE ACADEMY OF MOTION PICTURE ARTS AND SCIENCES (class of 2022) under the category of ACTORS, is such a BIG DEAL.”
“Thank you #theacademy #realchiomaude I’m so honored!!”
This invitation comes amidst her separation from her husband, Abdulrasheed Bello, fondly known as JJC Skillz.
They walked down the aisle in 2016. The couple welcomed their set of twins in 2018.
However, having spent six years together, JJC Skillz last Thursday revealed via his verified Instagram account that he had been separated from the actress for three months.
