Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award:

• Producer/Director Norman F. Jewison
  for directing 23 and producing 26 films and TV series from 1963 to today including: Other People's Money (1991), Moonstruck (1987), Agnes of God (1985), Rollerball (1975), Jesus Christ Superstar (1973), Fiddler on the Roof (1971), In the Heat of the Night (1967), The Cincinnati Kid (1965) and The Judy Garland Show (1963 TV series).

Honorary Award:

• Director Elia Kazan
  in appreciation of a long and distinguished career, during which he influenced the very nature of filmmaking through his creation of cinematic masterpieces. He directed such Broadway plays as A Streetcar Named Desire and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and movies including The Last Tycoon (1976), Splendor in the Grass (1961), East of Eden (1955) and A Streetcar Named Desire (1951). Kazan also received two best director Academy Awards, for the films On the Waterfront (1954) and Gentleman's Agreement (1947).
  
  His award, however, had definite political implications. Kazan, the director of 20 feature films between 1937 and 1976, was one of the most prominent figures to turn informer during the anticommunist witch-hunts of the early 1950s. After a first appearance before the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) January 14, 1952 at which he refused to "name names," Kazan reappeared on April 10 and identified eight people who had been members of the Communist Party with him in the mid-1930s, along with certain party functionaries. His testimony damaged the careers and lives of a number of individuals and helped consolidate the Hollywood blacklist. Kazan's decision to collaborate with the HUAC inquisitors epitomized the devil's bargain into which a significant section of the filmmaking community and the American liberal sympathizers as a whole entered during this period.
