LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Advanced Imaging Society’s Lumiere Awards handed out statuettes for distinguished creative and technical achievement during its 14th annual awards luncheon today at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Google Cloud, Barco Cinema, Microsoft and Ryff sponsored the luncheon.

The Lumiere Awards celebrated “Masters and Magic” this year, recognizing distinguished directors and professionals in film, television, and emerging media, voted for by members of the Hollywood creative and technology community. USC film historian J.D. Connor emphasized cinema’s unique blend of advanced technology and emotional intimacy, highlighting how innovation has long been a crucial element of cinematic storytelling. He stressed the importance of technological advancements in expanding the possibilities of storytelling, underscoring their significance to all who love to be transported by stories in film and television.

“Our awards have humorously been called the Oscars for geeks,” remarked Jim Chabin, AIS President. “In 2023, amidst the industry’s chaos, we witnessed the culmination of years of dedication and sudden bursts of creativity. That work is so important to all of us who love film and television. The Lumiere winners of this year have notably expanded the boundaries of technology in filmmaking, enriching storytelling in remarkable ways.”

The Society awarded the Best Live Action Feature Film to Universal Studios’ multi-nominated ओपेनहाइमर with Best Actor nominee Cillian मर्फी surprising the room and accepting the award on behalf of Christopher Nolan. Voters praised ओपेनहाइमर for its sheer ambition, monumental visual achievement and its commitment to uncompromising imaging quality.

The Lumiere for Best Animated Feature Film went to स्पाइडर-मैन: अक्रॉस द स्पाइडर-वर्स. Lead voice actress Hailee Steinfeld presented the award to Academy Award®-winning writers/producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller. Voters praised the multiple styles of animation saying visually it was the closest thing to animating a comic book that has ever been achieved.

Best International Feature Film was presented to Academy Award®-nominee ताकाशी यामाजाकी, Director, Writer and Visual Effects Supervisor of गॉडज़िला माइनस वन. Voters praised the film for being a superb new addition to the Godzilla legacy.

The Lumiere for Best Documentary went to 32 लगता है and was accepted by Academy Award®-winning sound editor मार्क मैंगिनी. This immersive documentary explores sound and its power to bend time, cross borders, and profoundly shape our perception of the world around us. From foley to experimental music to the natural world, the film is a celebration of sound in cinema.

Among the episodic winners was हमसे का अंतिम, जो received the Award for Best Episodic – Live Action, accepted by Janet Muswell Hamilton, SVP Visual Effects, HBO @ Max; and for Best Audio – accepted by sound editor Michael Benavente. Star Wars: Visions, Vol. 2 won for Best Episodic – Animation, accepted by the series’ Executive Producers जेम्स वॉ, जैकी लोपेज़ और Josh Rimes.

बार्बी received the award for Best Use of HDR in a Feature Film, which was accepted by Colorist एलन गॉर्डन. The film was also recognized for Best Original Song for “मैं बस केन हूँ.” HBO’s हमसे का अंतिम was recognized for Best Use of HDR – Episodic, and the award was received by एरिक हैनसेन, Vice President of Media and Production Services, Production Operations HBO & Max.

The Lumiere for Best Theatrical Scene or Sequence was awarded to मिशन: इम्पॉसिबल - डेड रेकनिंग for the heart-stopping train sequence. Voters commented that this was an impressive feat – a very elaborate scene to direct and perform, which also involved masterful, seamless VFX. The editing was terrific and definitely the highlight of the film. Director क्रिस्टोफर मैकक्वेरी, a past Lumiere winner and Harold Lloyd recipient, wrote a note from set in the UK and expressed his heartfelt thanks and gratitude to the AIS as an organization committed to celebrating the passion and hard work behind the cinematic experience.

The Award for Best Audio – Theatrical went to रचयिता, which sound editor and Oscar nominee एरिक अडाहल happily accepted. Director गैरेथ एडवर्ड्स was also in attendance to celebrate his win.

गैलेक्सी वॉल के संरक्षक 3 received the award for Best 2D to 3D Conversion which was accepted by the film’s editor Fred Raskin. Voters commented that Vol. 3 was a fitting finale to one of the best narratives in the Marvel universe! VFX Supervisor and nominee लड़का विलियम्स from Wētā FX भी उपस्थित थे।

The Innovation in Production Technology Award was presented to राइफ् for their groundbreaking innovations, notably their development of advanced software that addresses critical challenges faced by productions worldwide. Their innovations enable effortless integration or removal of product placements during post-production. Renowned clients such as ESPN, Dell, Volvo, and Amazon Prime utilize Ryff’s technology to facilitate seamless production experiences for all creatives involved.

The society’s annual Sir Charles Wheatstone Award is presented to an organization for advancing the arts and sciences of storytelling. These award recipients are the magicians who work behind the scenes to make stories truly come alive on screen and beyond.

This year AIS presented the award to The Walt Disney Studios’ Research and Innovation teams DisneyResearch|Studios and StudioLAB for advancing cinematic storytelling. Jamie Voris, The Walt Disney Studios’ EVP/Chief Technology Officer, accepted the award on behalf of the teams. “I’m honored to accept this award on behalf of our DisneyResearch|Studios and StudioLAB teams. I’m so proud of the teams’ outstanding achievements over the years to continuously push the boundaries of what’s possible and to shape the future of cinematic storytelling,” said Voris.

A highlight of the awards ceremony was a vision of Walt Disney himself in the event space, sharing an inspiring message about innovation. DisneyResearch|Studios, StudioLAB, and Industrial Light & Magic utilized cutting-edge technology to digitally bring Walt to life and create this unique greeting called MagicStage, which was originally developed for Disney100: प्रदर्शनी. The teams tapped the vast resources of the Walt Disney Archives to create this authentic recreation of Walt Disney. As he famously said, “We’re always exploring and experimenting.”

The Lumiere Awards have been presented to the industry’s most respected creative and technical leaders over the last decade. In addition to awards for motion pictures, episodic, and new media content, the society also bestowed awards for best musical motion picture, best musical scene or performance, best immersive audio, and more.

Three special honors were handed out, providing the highlights of the day:

Academy Award®-nominated actor जेफरी राइट received the inaugural Distinguished Artist Award for his exceptional performance in American Fiction. The accolade was presented to him by his co-star, जॉन Ortiz. This recognition aims to celebrate the often overlooked collaboration between lead actors and technology, as well as their unwavering commitment to working seamlessly with their crews. The AIS chose to honor a performer whose impactful on-screen work has not only inspired but also influenced the behind-the-scenes efforts of the entire production team.

The EARTHDAY.ORG “Voices For The Earth Award,” which celebrates innovation and inspiration in environmental storytelling, was given to Academy Award®-nominated director डैरेन Aronofsky and his producing partners at क्षेत्र मनोरंजन for their film पृथ्वी से पोस्टकार्ड, a beautiful tribute to the earth’s beauty and complexity, but also along with the Sphere, it is a tribute to the technological possibilities of filmmaking itself. Followed by a video from Aronofsky, who was not able to attend, the team from Sphere Entertainment responsible for creating the experience led by Producer Ralph Winter और Andrew Shulkind (SVP Head of Capture) accepted the award from Tom Cosgrove, Chief Creative Officer of EARTHDAY.ORG and past chairman of AIS.

And finally, the esteemed Harold Lloyd Award was presented to Academy Award®-winning filmmaker अलेक्जेंडर पायने by सुज़ैन लॉयड, Chairman of Harold Lloyd Entertainment, along with a surprise appearance by the film’s lead (and Academy Award® nominee) पॉल Giamatti. Producer and nominee मार्क जॉनसन was also on hand for the celebration. Payne, who hails from Nebraska like Harold Lloyd, similarly has a gift for creating ambitious, driven characters who not only make us laugh, but also make us care. His film होल्डओवर beautifully captures the essence of genuine human experiences, portraying characters navigating life with honesty and integrity. Through its intimate and heartfelt depictions, the film pays homage to boyhood, the teaching profession, and to an iconic era in American history.
