Previously announced winners this year:
Jean Hersholt Humanitarian - Arthur Hiller
Director Arthur Hiller has been voted the Jean Hersholt
Humanitarian Award by the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences. The award, an Oscar statuette, was presented
during the 74th Academy Awards ceremony on March 24.
The Hersholt Award is given to an individual in the motion picture industry whose humanitarian efforts have brought credit to the industry.
"The board was persuaded not by Hiller's participation in a single cause, but by the wide diversity of his charitable and educational interests," Pierson said. "In a long and productive career as a director and producer, Arthur has been extraordinarily generous with his time, a most precious commodity in the hell-for-leather pace of motion picture making. His activities extend far beyond the community of film to the society at large."
Hiller has been involved with such charitable organizations as the Motion Picture and Television Fund, KCET, Amnesty International, Inner City Filmmakers, the Los Angeles Central Library's reading program, the Deaf Arts Council, the Anti-Defamation League, Los Angeles County Museum programs on film and television, Humanitas, the Streisand Centre at UCLA and the Venice Family Clinic. Hiller is a frequent participant in classes and workshops at universities, festivals and other organizations in the United States and abroad.
Hiller was nominated for an Academy Award in 1970 for directing "Love Story," and served as Academy President from 1993 through 1997. Hiller's other film credits include "The Americanization of Emily," "The Out-of-Towners," "Plaza Suite," "Man of La Mancha," "The Hospital," "The In-Laws," "Silver Streak," "Author! Author!," "Outrageous Fortune" and "The Man in the Glass Booth."
Hiller's career spans many years and several media. It began in Canadian radio and moved into television in 1954 when he started directing for CBC Television. Shortly after, he was brought to the United States by Matinee Theatre and worked on many other prestigious television series such as "Playhouse 90," "Alfred Hitchcock Presents," "Gunsmoke" and "Naked City."
Honorary - Robert Redford
Actor Robert Redford has been chosen to receive an Honorary
Award by the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts
and Sciences. The award, an Oscar statuette, was presented during the
74th Academy Awards ceremony on March 24.
The citation will read: "Robert Redford - Actor, Director, Producer, Creator of Sundance, inspiration to independent and innovative filmmakers everywhere."
"Bob's dedication to independent filmmaking has had an enormously positive impact on the motion picture industry since he created Sundance 20 years ago, and young filmmakers for years to come will continue to benefit from the training that his institute provides and the world-class showcase that his festival offers," said Academy President Frank Pierson.
Since his acting debut in the 1962 drama "War Hunt," Redford has appeared in more than 35 films including "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "The Way We Were," "All the President's Men" and "The Sting," for which he received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor in 1973.
After gaining success as an actor, Redford tried his hand at directing and won an Academy Award in his directorial debut for the film "Ordinary People" in 1980. He received two nominations in 1994 for directing and producing Best Picture nominee "Quiz Show."
Honorary Awards, in the form of Oscar® statuettes, are given by the Academy for "exceptional distinction in the making of motion pictures or for outstanding service to the Academy." Previous recipients include Ernest Lehman, Stanley Donen, Deborah Kerr, Federico Fellini, Ralph Bellamy, Michael Kidd, Alex North and Hal Roach.
Honorary - Sidney Poitier
Actor Sidney Poitier has been voted an Honorary Award by
the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
The award, an Oscar statuette, was presented during the 74th Academy Awards
ceremony on March 24.
The award, an Oscar® statuette, is being given to Poitier "for his extraordinary performances and unique presence on the screen, and for representing the motion picture industry with dignity, style and intelligence throughout the world."
"When the Academy honors Sidney Poitier," Pierson said, "it honors itself even more."
In a career that has spanned more than 50 years, Poitier has been nominated for two leading actor Oscars®, in 1958 for his role in "The Defiant Ones," and in 1963 for "Lilies of the Field," for which he won the statuette.
He has appeared in over 40 films since 1949, including such classics as "Blackboard Jungle," "To Sir, with Love," "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," "A Raisin in the Sun" and "In the Heat of the Night."
So many governors made comments seconding Poitier's nomination that it took Actors Branch Governor Tom Hanks' remark - "When I was a young actor, I worked as a bellboy. I carried Mr. Poitier's bags once, and he tipped me five bucks!" - to finally bring the proposal to a vote.
Academy rules state that Honorary Awards, in the form of Oscar statuettes, may be given for "exceptional distinction in the making of motion pictures or for outstanding service to the Academy." Previous recipients include Paul Newman, Satyajit Ray, Michelangelo Antonioni, Akira Kurosawa, Sophia Loren, Walter Lantz, James Stewart and Henry Fonda.
Gordon E. Sawyer - Edmund M. Di Giulio
Edmund M. Di Giulio, one of the industry's foremost engineering
minds, has been voted the Gordon E. Sawyer Award by the Board of Governors
of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The Award, an Oscar
statuette, was presented at the Scientific and Technical Awards Dinner
on Saturday, March 2, at the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel.
Established in 1981, the Sawyer Award is "presented to an individual in the motion picture industry whose technological contributions have brought credit to the industry." Di Giulio is the 16th recipient.
Perhaps best known for his part in the engineering and development of the Steadicam, Di Giulio has been active on various Academy subcommittees for many years and chaired the Academy's Scientific and Technical Awards Committee for five years.
"In my opinion, Ed is something of an engineering statesman, and someone one could always call on for advice and guidance," said Richard Edlund, current chair of the Scientific and Technical Awards Committee. "We could think of no one who more deserves the Sawyer Award than he does."
To this point in his career, Di Giulio has received four Sci-Tech Awards, which he shares with several other people. While at Mitchell Camera Corporation in the early sixties, he developed the company's first reflex camera - the Mark II - and in 1968, he received the Scientific and Engineering Award for the important design and application of a conversion that made it possible to change over most of the industry's existing sound cameras to reflex viewing. In 1992, he received another Scientific and Engineering Award for the camera system design of the CP-65 Showscan Camera System for 65mm motion picture cinematography. In 1998, Di Giulio received a Technical Achievement Award for the design of the KeyKode Sync Reader.
The next year, Di Giulio received the John A. Bonner Medal of Commendation, awarded for "outstanding service and dedication in upholding the high standards of the Academy."
Di Giulio has authored a number of influential scientific papers and is a well-known lecturer who has appeared at technical conferences and symposia both in the United States and around the world. An Academy member since 1966, Di Giulio is also fellow of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE), and holds more than a dozen patents in computer and cinema technology.
John A. Bonner Medal of Commendation - Ray Feeney
The Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture
Arts and Sciences has awarded Ray Feeney the John A. Bonner Medal of Commendation.
The medal was presented during the Scientific and Technical Awards presentation
dinner on Saturday, March 2.
Feeney will receive the Bonner Medal for his pioneering efforts to improve visual effects in the motion picture industry.
Since the mid-70's, Feeney has worked to provide leading-edge scientific and engineering solutions to the film industry. The new technologies offered by Feeney and RFX, Inc., the company he founded in 1978, have served as the catalysts to produce ground-breaking visual effects for both feature films and television.
In conjunction with leading filmmakers and software engineers, Feeney also founded Silicon Grail, a company that develops digital compositing software to more efficiently create visual effects for feature films.
"Ray Feeney has played a leading role in the motion picture industry by working to improve upon current technologies. He has played a pivotal role in the field of visual effects and is truly deserving of the Bonner Medal," said Richard Edlund, chair of the Scientific and Technical Awards Committee. No stranger to Academy recognition, Feeney has won four Scientific and Engineering Awards from the Academy during his illustrious career: in 1988, for developing one of the first motion control camera systems; in 1991, for his work on the Solitaire Film Recorder; and in 1994, honoring his development of film input scanners and the Cinefusion bluescreen extraction technology.
Named in honor of the late director of special projects at Warner Hollywood Studios, the Bonner Medal is awarded for outstanding service and dedication in upholding the high standards of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Academy Awards for Scientific and Technical Achievements
of 2001 will be presented at a gala black tie dinner at the Regent Beverly
Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills.
