40 Cities Across America Celebrate Oscar(R) Night America

Beverly Hills, CA -This year marks the tenth anniversary of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences' Oscar Night America program.  It will also mark the year that more than ten million dollars will have been generated for local charities by the Oscar viewing parties.

Last year, Oscar Night America parties raised over $1.6 million for local charities in 37 cities. All money raised stays in each community; none of it goes to the Academy.

This year, 40 cities from Sacramento to Atlanta will attempt to re-create the glamour and excitement of the Academy Awards ceremony, a nice distance from its humble beginnings in 1994 with parties in just two cities, Minneapolis and San Francisco.

The 40 cities hosting Oscar Night America parties in 2003 are Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Buffalo, Charlotte, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Greenville-Spartanburg, Honolulu, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Louisville, Memphis, Miami, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Nashville, New Orleans, Oklahoma City, Omaha, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, Raleigh-Durham, Sacramento, Salt Lake City, San Diego, San Francisco, St. Louis, Tampa, Tucson and Washington, D.C.   All of the parties will feature a live broadcast of the 75th Anniversary Academy Awards? Presentation, which is being televised by the ABC Television Network.

"Oscar Night has always been a night for friends and families to gather to root and cheer for their favorite films and stars," said Ric Robertson, executive administrator of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.  "This nationwide network of fundraising parties is a natural extension of that shared experience."

The Academy provides official Oscar Night America parties with the same printed Academy Award show programs as those handed out at the ceremonies in Los Angeles.  The Academy also provides the official commemorative poster and permits the party organizers to use the image of the Academy's copyrighted Oscar statuette on invitations and other materials.

Most of the parties are black-tie affairs, though some are less formal, with varied and distinctive touches.  Some events, for example, ask partygoers to dress up as famous couples, and some feature limousine arrivals, walks down red carpets, celebrities, photographers or "paparazzi" and press interviews with arriving guests.

Only one charity party in a given city may participate in Oscar Night America.  Events are completely produced by local non-profit organizations, with the active participation of the local ABC-TV affiliate station.  Charities presenting parties this year are the Arthritis Foundation, Ronald McDonald House, Cobb Family Resources, American Red Cross, Capital City Aids Fund, Alzheimer's Association, Volunteers of America, Variety Club, Minnesota AIDS Project, The Ellie Fund, Chicago Academy of the Arts, USA Film Festival and other local arts foundations and film festivals.

Concept Marketing Development of Camarillo, California, will assist the Academy in coordination of the program for the tenth consecutive year.

Nominations Ballots Mailed Today for 75th Academy Awards(R)

Beverly Hills, CA - Nomination ballots for the 75th Academy Awards were mailed this week to the 5,816 voting members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Completed ballots must be returned to PricewaterhouseCoopers by 5 p.m., Wednesday, January 29.  Any ballot received after this deadline is ineligible.

All nomination and final award ballots are tabulated by PricewaterhouseCoopers under the direction of partners Greg Garrison and Rick Rosas, who ensure that all aspects of the balloting process are conducted with fairness and accuracy.  Both were present at the Academy to supervise the mailing. Beverly Hills Postmaster Patrick McCloskey also was on hand to oversee transportation of the ballots from the Academy to the post office.  "The Postal Service is honored each year to be a part of the Academy Awards process and will do what it takes to make sure that the ballots are delivered safely and without delay," said McCloskey.
"PricewaterhouseCoopers has been tabulating the Oscar(R) ballots since 1936," said Garrison, head of Assurance and Business Advisory Services for PricewaterhouseCoopers.  "We take the balloting seriously, so we review our procedures every year to maintain the integrity and high standards that the Academy expects."

Prior to mailing, the PricewaterhouseCoopers staff administers a thorough verification process to make sure there are no duplicate ballots and that none are missing.  In addition to being counted and sorted, each ballot is numbered to guarantee that it goes to the correct Academy voter.

Garrison and Rosas have been with PricewaterhouseCoopers for 27 years and six years, respectively.  This marks Garrison's eighth year and Rosas' second overseeing the balloting process.

The 75th Academy Award(R) nominations will be announced at the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theater on Tuesday, February 11, at 5:30 a.m. PST.

Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2002 will be presented on Sunday, March 23, at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland(R) and televised live by the ABC Television Network beginning at 5:30 p.m. PST.  A half-hour arrival segment will precede the presentation ceremony at 5 p.m.

Scientific and Technical Achievements Honored with Academy Awards(R)

Beverly Hills, CA - Three Oscar(R) statuettes will be among the Academy Awards to be presented for scientific and technical achievement on March 1 by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Alias/Wavefront will receive an Oscar for developing "Maya," a 3-D animation, modeling and rendering production tool.  The "Maya" software is in extremely wide use, and can create computer-generated versions of anything from character models to sets and backdrops which are indistinguishable from live-action film footage.  The customizable software has been used to some degree on nearly every feature using 3-D computer-generated images and was employed extensively in such films as "Spider-Man," "Ice Age," "Hollow Man" and "The Perfect Storm."

Oscars(R) also will be presented to Arnold & Richter Cine Technik and to Panavision, Inc., for the two companies' continuing advancements in camera systems designed for the film industry.  The two manufacturers have led the industry in developing and introducing products that define "state-of-the-art" in motion picture camera technology.

The Academy's Board of Governors voted to award the Oscars, as well as four Scientific and Engineering Awards, which will be presented in the form of plaques, and six Technical Achievement Awards, to be presented as certificates, based upon recommendations from the Scientific and Technical Awards Committee, chaired by Richard Edlund.

Awards Administration Director Rich Miller said that unlike other of this year's Academy Awards, achievements receiving Scientific and Technical Awards do not have to have been introduced during 2002, and in fact are only considered "if they have a proven track record showcasing successful and repeated use in the film industry."

The Scientific and Technical Academy Awards will be presented at a gala black tie dinner on Saturday evening, March 1, at the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel.

Academy Awards for Scientific and Technical achievements for the year 2002 are:

ACADEMY AWARD OF MERIT
(Oscar Statuette)

To Alias/Wavefront for the development of a 3D animation, dynamics, modeling and rendering production tool known as Maya.

With its significant and dominant impact on the motion picture industry, the Maya software package offers a robust and widely used commercial visual effects tool with a rich infrastructure for extension and customization.

To Arnold & Richter Cine Technik and to Panavision, Inc., for their continuing development and innovation in the design and manufacturing of advanced camera systems specifically designed for the motion picture entertainment industry.

With a commitment that lies beyond the usual commercial considerations, these two manufacturers continue to lead the industry in developing and introducing products that have defined state of the art in motion picture camera technology.

SCIENTIFIC AND ENGINEERING AWARDS
(Academy Plaque)

To Glenn Sanders and Howard Stark of Zaxcom for the concept, design and engineering of the portable Deva Digital Audio Disk Recorder.

This innovative design employs advanced hard disk recording technology and digital audio techniques for use in both production and post-production recording applications.

To Mark Elendt, Paul Breslin, Greg Hermanovic and Kim Davidson for their continued development of the procedural modeling and animation components of their Prisms program, as exemplified in the Houdini software package. Through a procedural building-block process, the Houdini software is used to simulate natural phenomena using particle effects and complex three-dimensional models.

To Leslie Gutierrez, Diane Kestner, James Merrill and David Niklewicz for the design and development of the Kodak Vision Premier Color Print Film, 2393. This film stock provides filmmakers with enhanced color saturation, higher contrast and darker blacks, producing a bold, colorful "look" on the theater screen.

To Dedo Weigert for the concept, Chin Depu for the optical calculations, and Franz Petters for the mechanical construction of the Dedolight 400D. This uniquely designed set light provides superior performance, reliability and ease of use. Combined with its excellent array of accessories, the Dedolight 400D is an outstanding engineering achievement.

TECHNICAL ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS
(Academy Certificates)

To Dick Walsh for the development of the PDI/ Dreamworks Facial Animation System. This effective software simulation system is used to create and control natural, expressive, highly-nuanced facial animation on a wide range of computer-generated characters.

To Thomas Driemeyer and to the mathematicians, physicists and software engineers of Mental Images for their contributions to the Mental Ray rendering software for motion pictures. Mental Ray is a highly programmable computer-graphics renderer incorporating ray tracing and global illumination to realistically simulate the behavior of light in computer-generated imagery.

To Eric Daniels, George Katanics, Tasso Lappas and Chris Springfield for the development of the Deep Canvas rendering software. The Deep Canvas software program captures the original brush strokes of the traditional background artist to render elements in three dimensions for animated films.

To Jim Songer for his contributions to the technical development of video-assist in the motion picture industry. The work of Jim Songer from 1968 through 1973 led directly to the more widespread acceptance of video-assist in the motion picture industry.

To Pierre Chabert of Airstar for the introduction of balloons with internal light sources to provide set lighting for the motion picture industry. These helium-filled balloons with internal arrangements for tungsten halogen and HMI light sources are usable indoors or out, quick to set up, require essentially no rigging and provide a soft light that can cover a very large area.

To Rawden Hayne and Robert W. Jeffs of Leelium Tubelite for their contributions to the development of internally lit balloons for motion picture lighting. These helium-filled balloons with internal arrangements for tungsten halogen and HMI light sources are usable indoors or out, quick to set up, require essentially no rigging and provide a soft light that can cover a very large area.
