Academy Award for Katana

Academy Award for Katana

This weekend the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences awarded Steve LaVietes, Jeremy Selen and Brian Hall an Academy Award for their work on Imagework’s Katana. Not surprisingly, it was a fantastic night.

Even the drive to the Beverly Hills Hotel was beautiful.

AMPAS knows how to put on a nice show.

Hosting the evening were Zoe Saldana And Chris Pine who handled the most challenging duties of the night: reading the technical descriptions for each of the awards. Everyone was thrilled to be getting awards from the cast of Star Trek.

Steve, Brian and Jeremy gave a terrific acceptance speech and even the crutches were only a minor challenge.

A really fun night.
