Marlee Matlin received the Oscar Statuette’s Oscar Statuette’s Oscar Statuette’s Oscar Statuette’s award, created to broadly recognize that “all people who develop and support subtitle technology, whether open or closed, are films,” the Academy of Film Arts and Sciences’ annual Science and Technology Awards, which are presented in the Film Museum’s Film Museum.

Oscar-winning actress Matin has long advocated for subtitles and shared her hopes on stage, hoping that the Oscar statues that reside in the Academy Museum will learn more about subtitle technology and remind the Academy of “a commitment to accessibility and inclusion.”

Call the academy "the biggest ally of the deaf community" in a conversation with the academy typeMatlin pays homage to the forefront of new technology in films, but suggests that more work can be done to advance subtitle technology and use it more widely, including classic and new movies. “We are still on the road to full accessibility, and the Academy recognizes that equality is very important and welcomes all viewers in the film experience, and all viewers should be able to watch the movie together.”

Also at the ceremony, originally scheduled for February 18, but was postponed in the Los Angeles Fire, the Technological Achievement Award (College Certificate), and the Science and Engineering Award (College Plaque), also introduced innovators to advances, from technology to photographic safety to camera stability and realism technology, and more.

Host Diego Luna ("Andor") told the winner: "You are the nameless hero, but tonight, we praise your praise.

Highlighted areas of progress include work on denoising, which means tools to fix flaws in CG rendered images. These included Wētāfx's ML Denoiser, for which Javor Kalojanov and Kimball Thurston received the Technical Achievement Award. The Denoiser has been used in the WETA program, including the recent Oscar nominations “Better Man” and “Minecraft Movie”. The term ML or machine learning is a subset of AI. In this application of the technology, Thurston said it “given creativity power,” explains that “it’s not AI; it doesn’t convert text into images. It’s a tool to improve image quality and save time and enhance (artist) creativity.”

Also in this field, Thijs Vogels, Fabrice Rousselle, David Adler, Gerhard Röthlin and Mark Meyer received Science and Engineering Awards for creating Disney's ML Deoiser. Attila T.áfra was awarded the Technical Achievement Award for Intel Open Image Denoise, while Timo Aila awarded the U-Nets job in NVIDIA.

The on-site safety development projects, including gels, make the fire burning stunt performers' skin safe. In this field, Jayson Dumenigo received a Science and Engineering Award for Action Factory Hydrogels, while the Technology Achievement Award presented Neeme Vaino with the development of Fireskin360 naked burn gel, Dustin Brooks and Colin Decker providing fires for Hire's Naked Burn Gel.

Science and engineering awards for camera stability include Curt Schaller, Roman Foltyn for the concept, design and development of the Trinity 2 camera stabilization system, and software and hardware design for its mobile stabilization head; Steve Wagner, Garrett Brown, Jerry Holway and Robert Orf for the stable stability system of Tiffen; and Dave Freeth handheld three-axis mobile camera stabilization system.

Among the winners of the Sound, Scientific and Engineering Award, including Nir Averbuch, Yair Chuchem and Dan Raviv's automatic Align Post 2, used by conversation editors, are used to fuse multiple mobile microphones in the post-production process.

The Technology Escape Award was presented in honor of Noel for contributions to the NACMO series of transportable sixth-level motion basic technologies; Su Tie, Beijing Shimen and Zhao Yanchong for Ronin 2 World; and handheld MōviGimbals from Tabb Firchau, John Ellison, Steve Webb, David Bloomfield and Shane Colton for Freefly Systems.

Essex Edwards, James Jacobs, Jernej Barbic, Crawford Doran and Andrew van Straten have provided the Ziva VFX system with the technical achievement award and assisted VFX practitioners in creating the muscles and skins of digital characters.
