The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has named filmmaker Sean Baker and producer Samantha Quan as co-chairs of its newly created Marquee Theater Committee, which will review submissions and recommend venues for inclusion on the Academy's Marquee Theater List. The appointment forms part of a wider announcement of chairs and vice-chairs across the Academy's committees and affinity groups for the 2026-27 term, bodies intended to guide Academy policy and represent the interests of its membership.

Baker, who won four Oscars in 2025 for "Anora," and Quan, his producing partner, will each serve a one-year term in the new role. Academy President Lynette Howell Taylor and CEO Bill Kramer thanked the appointees for their leadership, while other announced roles included co-chairs for the International Feature Film Executive Committee and the Scientific and Technical Awards Executive Committee, alongside branch executive committee chairs such as Rita Wilson for the Actors Branch.
