Oscars competition was tough in 2017, leading to a 2018 race without any obvious frontunners. Would the top prize go to Shape of Water or Three Billboards or Get Out or Lady Bird or Dunkirk or... well, any of the Best Picture nominees. Could Timothée Chalamet pick up Best Actor? Sure. Or would the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences swing for Daniel Day-Lewis? Seems just as possible. Frances McDormand would likely go home with the Academy Award for Best Actress, but hell, you never know! Every. Oscar. Race. Was. Tight.

Presented to an individual in the motion picture industry whose technological contributions have made an extraordinary and lasting impact on the motion picture industry.

TECHNICAL ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS

Awarded to Jason Smith and Jeff White for the original design, and to Rachel Rose and Mike Jutan for the architecture and engineering, of the BlockParty procedural rigging system at Industrial Light & Magic.
BlockParty streamlines the rigging process through a comprehensive connection framework, a novel graphical user interface, and volumetric rig transfer, which has enabled ILM to build richly detailed and unique creatures while greatly improving artist productivity.

Awarded to Joe Mancewicz, Matt Derksen and Hans Rijpkema for the design, architecture and implementation of the Rhythm & Hues Construction Kit rigging system.
This toolset provides a novel approach to character rigging that features topological independence, continuously editable rigs and deformation workflows with shape-preserving surface relaxation, enabling fifteen years of improvements to production efficiency and animation quality.

To Alex Powell for his contribution to the design and engineering, to Jason Reisig for his contribution to the interaction design, and to Martin Watt and Alex Wells for their contributions to the high-performance execution engine of the Premo character animation system at DreamWorks Animation.
Premo’s speed and simplicity enable animators to pose full-resolution characters in representative shot context, significantly increasing their productivity.

Awarded to Rob Jensen for the foundational design and continued development, to Thomas Hahn for the animation toolset, and to George ElKoura, Adam Woodbury and Dirk Van Gelder for the high-performance execution engine of the Presto Animation System at Pixar Animation Studios.
