75th Annual Academy Awards Updates (2626 words)
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 Academy's Fourth Floor Gallery will be the temporary home for the statuettes, most of which are being borrowed from the winners or their heirs.
