| Honorary Award |
| |
Filmmaker Blake Edwards was selected to receive an Honorary
Award by the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture
Arts and Sciences. It was given to Edwards to honor his "extraordinary
distinction in lifetime achievement." The citation read:
"In recognition of his writing, directing and producing an
extraordinary body of work for the screen."
"For
more than 50 years, Edwards has had an extraordinary career writing,
directing and producing mainly his own material," said Academy
President Frank Pierson. "And that puts him in a select and
very small group of outstanding film makers."
The son of a production manager and the grandson of a silent screen
director, Edwards began his career in films as an actor, with
"Ten Gentlemen from West Point" in 1942. He wrote his
first film, "Panhandle" (which he also produced) in
1948, and debuted as a director with the television series "Four
Star Playhouse" in 1952.
Edwards has been a prolific writer, director and producer and
his films have run the gamut from the high drama of "Days
of Wine and Roses" to the urban sophistication of "Breakfast
at Tiffany's," and "Victor/Victoria" to the imperishable
slapstick comedy of the series of Pink Panther movies, "A
Shot in the Dark," "The Party," "10"
and the satirical Hollywood black comedy "S.O.B." His
nearly 50 films also include such memorable titles as "The
Great Race," "Operation Petticoat," "Darling
Lili," "Experiment in Terror," "Wild Rovers,"
"Mr. Cory" and "What Did You do in the War Daddy?"
Edwards received his only Academy Award nomination in 1982 for
his screenplay of "Victor/Victoria," which starred his
wife, Julie Andrews.
Previous recipients of Honorary Awards over the Academy's 75-year
history include Louis B. Mayer, Gene Kelly, Harold Lloyd, Greta
Garbo, Jerome Robbins, Satyajit Ray and Chuck Jones. The award
went last year to Peter O'Toole. |

Actress Jennifer Garner presented the Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences' Scientific and Technical Awards on
Saturday, February 14, 2004 at the Ritz Carlton Huntington Hotel
in Pasadena.
Two Oscar® statuettes were among the 11 awards presented
at the gala black tie dinner. Digidesign, a leading manufacturer
of computer-based digital audio production systems, received
an Oscar for the creation and development of the Pro Tools®
digital audio workstation. Bill Tondreau of Kuper Controls also
received an Oscar for his significant advancements with robotic
camera systems, which resulted in motion control becoming an
integral part of the field of visual effects.
The Gordon E. Sawyer Award, also an Oscar statuette, was presented
during the ceremony to Peter D. Parks for his lifetime of technological
contributions to the industry.
Portions of the Oscar presentations were taped for inclusion
in the February 29 Academy Awards® broadcast. Scientific
and Technical Awards are presented by the Academy for devices,
methods, formulas, discoveries or inventions of special and
outstanding value to the arts and sciences of motion pictures. |
