LOS ANGELES—Following three years of sinking Oscar ratings and Will Smith’s “slap heard around the world,” the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences named its new CEO on June 7.

The Academy’s board of governors selected Bill Kramer to head the organization following the departure of Dawn Hudson, who had been the CEO for 11 years.
