Let the techies be rewarded. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences today revealed the 16 sci-tech achievements that will be honored at its annual Scientific and Technical Awards ceremony next month.
See the full list below. Achievements marked for Sci-Technical Awards need not have been developed and introduced during a specified period but must demonstrate a proven record of contributing significant value to the process of making motion pictures, per AMPAS. “Each year, a global group of technology practitioners and experts sets out to examine the extraordinary tools and techniques employed in the creation of motion pictures,” said Barbara Ford Grant, chair of the Academy’s Scientific and Technical Awards Committee, which oversees the vetting of the awards. “This year, we honor 16 technologies for their exceptional contributions to how we craft and enhance the movie experience, from the safe execution of on-set special effects to new levels of image presentation fidelity and immersive sound to open frameworks that enable artists to share their digital creations across different software and studios seamlessly.
These remarkable achievements in the arts and sciences of filmmaking have propelled our medium to unprecedented levels of greatness.” The Sci-Tech Oscar ceremony will be held Friday, February 23, at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles.
