Honorary Award |
|
The Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture
Arts and Sciences has voted the Honorary Award be given
to Director Sidney Lumet to honor his "brilliant services
to screenwriters, performers and the art of the motion picture."
“Lumet is one of the most important film
directors in the history of American cinema,” said
Academy President Frank Pierson, "and his work has
left an indelible mark on both audiences and the history
of film itself. It was a great personal pleasure and professional
honor to call Sidney to tell him he'd won his profession's
highest honor."
The son of actor Baruch Lumet and dancer Eugenia Wermus,
Lumet was born in Philadelphia and made his stage debut
at New York's Yiddish Art Theater at the age of four, acting
until the 1950s when he began working as a television director.
Lumet made his feature film debut in 1957 with the widely
praised "12 Angry Men," which earned him an Academy
Award nomination for directing.
He has earned three additional directing nominations, for
"Dog Day Afternoon" in 1975, "Network"
in 1976 and "The Verdict" in 1982, as well as
a nomination for adapted screenplay (with Jay Presson Allen)
for "Prince of the City" in 1981.
His more than 40 films include such additional titles as
"Running on Empty," "The Wiz," "Equus,"
"Murder on the Orient Express," "Serpico,"
"Fail-Safe," "The Pawnbroker" and "Long
Day's Journey into Night." |

Jean Hersholt Humanitarian
Award |
|
Roger Mayer, president of Turner Entertainment Co., has
been voted the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award by the Board
of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
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
in large measure by Roger's long-time efforts on behalf
of the Motion Picture and Television Fund as well as his
efforts in film preservation," Academy President Frank
Pierson said. "Throughout a more than half-century-long
career in the motion picture industry Roger has been a fixture
on the boards of a wide variety of charitable organizations.
He has always given his time to support the needs of his
industry."
Mayer has served the Motion Picture and Television Fund
for over 25 years, eight of them as chair of its Board of
Trustees. (One of the organizers of the MPTF, which originally
was called the Motion Picture Relief Fund, was Jean Hersholt,
who served as its president and for whom the award Mayer
will receive is named.)
Mayer is the founding chair of the board of directors of
the National Film Preservation Foundation, created by Congress
in 1996 at the recommendation of the Library of Congress
to preserve "orphan films," which have no studio
or other entity with an economic motive to save them.
Mayer is a member of the National Film Preservation Board,
which advises the Librarian of Congress concerning films
to be added to the National Film Registry and their preservation
at the Library of Congress. He has been honored for his
work in film preservation by the Hollywood Film Festival,
New York's "Career Transition for Dancers," the
Telluride Film Festival, New York's Anthology Film Archives,
the International Documentary Association and Yale University.
He has been active with the Permanent Charities Committee
of the Entertainment Industry (now known as the Entertainment
Industry Foundation), the United Jewish Welfare Fund and
the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra Silent Film Gala.
A graduate of Yale Law School , Mayer started in the industry
in 1952 as a lawyer with Columbia Pictures, later becoming
a studio executive there. He joined MGM in 1961 as assistant
general manager of the studio, ultimately becoming senior
vice president of administration for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer,
Inc., and president of MGM Laboratories, an association
that spanned 25 years.
Mayer has been president and chief operating officer of
Turner Entertainment Co. since 1986.
A former governor of the Academy, Mayer served for three
three-year terms, also serving as an officer of the Academy
for two years during that period. |

|
Actress Scarlett Johansson presented the Academy of
Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Scientific and Technical
Awards for 2004 on Saturday, February 12, 2005 at the Ritz-Carlton
Huntington Hotel in Pasadena.
The creators of two camera crane systems received Oscar

the gala black tie dinner. Horst Burbulla received an Oscar

The Gordon E. Sawyer Award, also an Oscar statuette, was

Portions of the Oscar presentations were taped for inclusion
in the February 27 Academy Awards broadcast.
