On February 11 at the Scientific And Technical Awards, filmmaker, visionary and special effects maestro Douglas Trumbull will be presented with the Gordon E. Sawyer Award by the Scientifc and Technical branch of the Academy, for his technical contributions to the motion picture industry.

Mr. Trumbull has created many visual effects, including the effects for such films as Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey", Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner" and Terrence Malick's "The Tree Of Life".  The latter film is still in contention as a possible nominee for visual effects Oscar, and the nominees will be announced on January 24.

Mr. Trumbull has revolutionized much of the filmmaking effects process, including being an innovator in several areas, such as motion control photography, slit-scan photography and inter-positive matte painting, among many others.
