Today the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences added members, ranging from actors to producers to directors to editors. They also added Animators, and Aniboom would like to send a shout out to these distinguished artists, a group whose work includes Oscar-nominated Monster House to Kung Fu Panda, to Oscar-winning Best Animated Feature The Incredibles and last year's Best Short Animated Film The House of Small Cubes.

Here are AMPAS's newest inductee Animators:

J.J. Blumenkranz
Konstantin Bronzit
Kendal Cronkhite
Rodolphe Guenoden
Byron Howard
Kunio Kato
Doug Sweetland
Chris Williams

Congratulations from Aniboom!  Take a bow!
