Los Angeles - French actress Marion Cotillard and Borat creator Sacha Baron Cohen are among a list of 105 people invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the Academy said on Monday.

Cotillard, a popular winner at this year's Oscars for her startling portrayal of Edith Piaf in La Vie En Rose, was among seven actors asked to join the ranks of the Academy's voting membership.

Other actors included No Country for Old Men star Josh Brolin, who will reappear in cinemas later this year as President George W Bush in Oliver Stone's W, Chinese martial arts icon Jet Li and British actor Ray Winstone, most recently seen in the fourth Indiana Jones film.

Other new members included Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody, the respective director and screenwriter of Oscar-winning comedy Juno.

"These individuals are all incredibly talented and a credit to the world of filmmaking," said Academy President Sid Ganis in a statement.

"They exemplify the high standards of the Academy and I welcome each and every one of them to our ranks."

The new members take the Academy's ranks to nearly 6 000.
