Academy Award for Best Technical Achievement

Greg Ercolano

(For the design and engineering of a series of software systems culminating in the Rush render queue management system. Mr. Ercolano's work has been influential across the industry, and has enabled scalable render farms at numerous studios.)
Academy Award for Best Technical Achievement

David M. Laur

(For the development of the Alfred render queue management system. This system was the first robust, scalable, widely adopted commercial solution for queue management in the motion picture industry. Its user interface and support for multi-machine assignment influenced the design of modern day queue management tools.)
Academy Award for Best Technical Achievement

Chris Allen, Gauth Krishnamurti, Mark A. Brown, Lance Kimes

Academy Award for Best Technical Achievement

Florian Kainz

Academy Award for Best Technical Achievement

Eric Tabellion, Arnauld Lamorlette

Academy Award for Best Technical Achievement

Tony Clark, Alan Rogers, Neil Wilson, Rory Mcgregor

(For the software design and continued development of cineSync, a tool for remote collaboration and review of visual effects. Easy to use, cineSync has become a widely accepted solution for remote production collaboration.)

Academy Scientific and Technical Award (Scientific and Engineering award)
