Cardiff has received four Academy Award nominations and in 1947 won an Oscar statuette for his cinematography on "Black Narcissus." He also was nominated for his cinematography on "War and Peace" in 1956 and "Fanny" in 1961. He received a nomination in the directing category in 1960 for "Sons and Lovers."

One of the world's most accomplished cinematographers, his work includes "The African Queen," "The Barefoot Contessa," "The Prince and the Showgirl," "The Diary of Anne Frank," "The Vikings," "The Prince and the Pauper," "Death on the Nile," "Tai Pan" and "Conan the Destroyer." In the late 1950s he turned his talents to directing, helming such pictures as "The Long Ships" and "Young Cassidy." A resident of England, Cardiff is still working at the age of 86.

Honorary Oscar: screenwriter-producer-director Ernest Lehman
"Ernest Lehman has written and produced some of the most memorable films ever made," said Academy President Robert Rehme. "He is not only a prolific screenwriter, but an accomplished novelist, journalist and motion picture producer, whose films rank as genuine classics." Lehman has been nominated six times for Academy Awards, four times in the category of Best Screenplay ("Sabrina," "North by Northwest," "West Side Story," and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?") and twice in the category of Best Picture ("Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" and "Hello, Dolly!").

In 1952, fiction writer and journalist Lehman came to Hollywood to become a screenwriter for Paramount Pictures. Once he arrived, he was immediately loaned out to MGM, where he wrote his first screenplay, "Executive Suite," for producer John Houseman and director Robert Wise. For the next few decades, Lehman would collaborate with some of Hollywood's most famous creators, including Alfred Hitchcock on "North by Northwest," Billy Wilder and Samuel Taylor on "Sabrina" and Robert Wise on "The Sound of Music" and "West Side Story." His professional career spans more than forty years and includes screenwriting credits on "The King and I," "Somebody Up There Likes Me," "From the Terrace," "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" and "Hello Dolly!."

Technical Achievement: Rob Cook, Loren Carpenter and Ed Catmull of Pixar for the "Renderman" software

Gordon E. Sawyer Award: producer Irwin W. Young
A pillar of the New York film community and chairman of the board of Du Art Film Laboratories and Du Art Video, Young has helped bring numerous independent films to the screen through Du Art Laboratories. As a producer himself, some of the films he has been responsible for are "Whatever" in 1998, "Caught" in 1995, "American Me" in 1992 and, in 1964, "Nothing but a Man," which was a double prizewinner at the Venice Film Festival.

In 1979, the Academy honored Young, Paul Kaufman and Frederick Schlyter from Du Art Laboratories with a Technical Achievement Award for the development of a computer-controlled paper tape programming system and its application in the motion picture laboratory.

The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) awarded him its Progress Medal in 1987. He also is the recipient of the New York State Governor's Arts Award, and the Independent Feature Project's First Annual Gotham Lifetime Achievement Award.

An active member of numerous organizations, Young is currently president of the Film Society of Lincoln Center, a board member of the Independent Feature Project and an Associate Member of the American Society of Cinematographers. In addition, Young has been President of SMPTE, three times president of the Association of Cinema and Video Laboratories, chairman and board member of The Moving Image, Inc, and past member of the Colorado Council on the Arts and Humanities and the New York State Council of the Arts. Young also is a Fellow of the British Kinematograph Sound and Television Society.

Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award: producer Dino De Laurentiis
"De Laurentiis' body of work speaks for itself," said Academy President Robert Rehme. "His love of, passion for and dedication to making motion pictures has suffused through his career. He has always had the courage to make the films that he believes in."

De Laurentiis received his only Oscar® in 1956 when "La Strada" won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Aside from that film, he has never received an Academy Award nomination.

A native of Italy, De Laurentiis had produced "L'Amore Canta," his first feature film, by the age of twenty. He first came to the attention of international audiences with his 1948 film "Bitter Rice." In the 1950s De Laurentiis joined forces with Carlo Ponti to form the Ponti-De Laurentiis production company. Together they produced a number of films including Fellini's "La Strada" and "The Nights of Cabiria," both winners of Academy Awards in the Foreign Language Film category. By 1957 the partnership was dissolved and De Laurentiis continued to make films in his native country.

By the 1970s De Laurentiis had closed his Italian operation and moved to the United States, working out of New York and Los Angeles. Since arriving on this side of the Atlantic, De Laurentiis has gone on to produce both feature films and television. His credits include: "Breakdown," "Serpico," "Three Days of the Condor," "Death Wish," "Year of the Dragon," "Conan the Barbarian," "Dune," "Blue Velvet," "Barbarella" and "Manhunter," which introduced movie-goers to Dr. Hannibal Lecter. His remake of "King Kong" received a Special Achievement Award from the Academy for visual effects. His most recent productions include "Hannibal," the sequel to "Silence of the Lambs," and the Second World War submarine drama, "U-571."
