Hollywood stuntman Hal Needham has cracked ribs, punctured his lung and broken his back while making more than 300 movies. And now he has an Oscar.

He was one of four men honored during the Dec. 1 Governors Awards, also known as the Honorary Oscars.

Needham becomes only the second stuntman to receive an Academy Award. Yakima Canutt, who received an Honorary Award in 1966, was the first.

“You’re looking at the luckiest man alive,” Needham, 81, said in his acceptance speech, “and lucky to be alive.”

“My mom is looking down on tonight with a big smile on her face,” he said, wiping tears from his eyes.

“I want to thank the whole Hollywood community for allowing me to be part of it,” he said in closing.

Each year, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences takes time to honor those who may not have been recognized before.

The Governors Awards, voted on by the Academy’s Board of Governors in September, recognized Needham along with documentarian D.A. Pennebaker and filmmaker-arts advocate George Stevens Jr. with Honorary Awards. DreamWorks Animation chief and philanthropist Jeffrey Katzenberg received the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. Each received Oscar statuettes.

After dinner, held in the Ray Dolby Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland Center in Hollywood, special guests made tributes to honorees and clips were played of their work.

Sen. Al Franken and fellow documentarian Michael Moore introduced Pennebaker.

“The key point about documentaries is that truth is sometimes truer than fiction,” Franken said.

Moore later credited Pennebaker with inventing the modern documentary.

“I doubt that there are many still alive whom we could call a pioneer or an inventor of a genre of filmmaking,” he said of 87-year-old Pennebaker. “We have one in our presence tonight.”

Pennebaker accepted his award and thanked his wife and his fellow filmmakers for the honor.

Annette Bening and Sidney Poitier then fêted George Stevens Jr.

Stevens, 80, spoke about his family and growing up in the film industry, which he said is in his blood as a fourth generation filmmaker.

The founding director of the American Film Institute (AFI), Stevens also co-created the Kennedy Center Honors.

Needham followed, receiving tributes by Quentin Tarantino and Al Ruddy, the Oscar-winning producer of “The Godfather.”

The final award of the night was given to Katzenberg. Tom Hanks and Will Smith introduced him, noting his persistent philanthropy.

“Jeffrey has no problem asking for way too much money,” Smith said.

Katzenberg, 61, then accepted the humanitarian award, which Oprah Winfrey received in 2011.

“My first mentors — my parents — gave me life and a deep appreciation of what it is to give to others,” he said, accepting the award.

Jeffrey Katzenberg, Hal Needham, D.A. Pennebaker and George Stevens, Jr. will be honored Dec. 1. All four will receive Oscar statuettes. This is the honorary Academy Awards — the 4th Annual Governors Awards, an untelevised, dinner event put on by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to bestow its testimonial awards.

More intimate and slower-paced than the Brobdingnagian ceremony in February, the Governors Awards honors no more than four industry professionals and allows for lengthly video tributes, along with casual toasting and introductions by closely-connected friends and colleagues of honorees.

The Board of Governors of the Academy voted Sept. 5 to present Honorary Awards to stunt performer Hal Needham, documentarian D. A. Pennebaker and arts advocate George Stevens, Jr., and the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award to philanthropist Jeffrey Katzenberg.

The 43 governors were allowed to nominate as many living people as they wanted. The list of candidates generally numbers at least 10, TheWrap’s Steve Pond reported.

Each governor casts a secret vote. The nominee with the largest number of votes then moves to a second round of voting, where each governor votes for or against that person’s candidacy. If more than half the board votes yes, the Oscar is awarded.

The process continues until three awards are voted. The fourth and final candidate must receive yes votes from three-fourths of the governors to receive an award, according to Pond.

The 4th Annual Governors Awards will be three weeks later than the previous three years, being held on Saturday, Dec. 1. Marketing executive Cheryl Boone Isaacs will produce the event for the Academy. She will share the duties with Don Mischer Productions, the company’s fourth show. The team will be led by Don Mischer, Charlie Haykel and Juliane Hare.

The honorees

On Saturday, Dec. 1, a black-tie dinner event at the Ray Dolby Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland Center to celebrate the careers of Katzenberg, Needham, Pennebaker and Stevens, Jr.

Here are the honorees’ biographies provided by the Academy:

Hal Needham is a legendary stunt performer and coordinator who has worked on more than 300 feature films including “The Spirit of St. Louis,” “How the West Was Won,” “Blazing Saddles,” “Little Big Man” and “Chinatown.” A pioneer in improving stunt technology and safety procedures, Needham also co-founded Stunts Unlimited, and is known for mentoring young stunt performers. In 1986, the Academy presented Needham with a Scientific and Engineering Award for the design and development of the Shotmaker Elite camera car and crane, which allows filmmakers greater versatility in shooting action sequences. Needham made his directorial debut with “Smokey and the Bandit.” He went on to direct such features as “Hooper” and the “Cannonball Run” films.

D. A. Pennebaker, a pioneer of modern nonfiction film, has directed more than 20 feature-length documentaries, including “Don’t Look Back,” “Monterey Pop,” “Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars,” “Moon over Broadway,” “Kings of Pastry” and “The War Room,” for which he received an Oscar® nomination. During his career of more than six decades, Pennebaker has inspired generations of filmmakers with his “you are here” style. He is considered one of the founders of the cinéma vérité movement, beginning with his collaboration on the seminal 1960 film “Primary.”

George Stevens, Jr. has spent a lifetime celebrating and preserving the heritage of motion pictures. After several years at the United States Information Agency, where he championed the work of young documentary filmmakers and was Oscar-nominated for producing the documentary short subject “The Five Cities of June,” Stevens went on to become the founding director of the American Film Institute. Under his leadership, the AFI established the Center for Advanced Film Studies, created the AFI Life Achievement Award and embarked on a host of educational initiatives. In 1977, Stevens co-founded the Kennedy Center Honors, which he has produced for the past 34 years.

A studio executive, film producer and philanthropist, Jeffrey Katzenberg has been instrumental in raising money for education, art and health-related causes, particularly those benefiting the motion picture industry. During more than two decades as chairman of the board for the Motion Picture and Television Fund, he helped to raise $200 million for the organization, created “The Night Before” event and worked to expand the MPTF campus. He also serves on the boards of such organizations as the California Institute of the Arts, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, AIDS Project Los Angeles, the Geffen Playhouse, The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, the Simon Wiesenthal Center and the USC School of Cinematic Arts. Katzenberg currently serves as CEO of DreamWorks Animation.

The Honorary Award, an Oscar statuette, is given to an individual for “extraordinary distinction in lifetime achievement, exceptional contributions to the state of motion picture arts and sciences, or for outstanding service to the Academy.”

The Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, an Oscar statuette, is given to an individual whose humanitarian efforts have brought credit to the motion picture industry.

Past honorees

Last year at the 3rd Governors Awards, Honorary Awards were presented to actor James Earl Jones and makeup artist Dick Smith and the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award went to philanthropist Oprah Winfrey.

At the 2nd Governors Awards, held Nov. 13, 2010, producer-director Francis Ford Coppola received the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award and Honorary Awards went to historian and preservationist Kevin Brownlow, director Jean-Luc Godard and actor Eli Wallach.

Honorees at the inaugural Governors Awards, held Nov. 14, 2009, were producer-executive John Calley (Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award) actress Lauren Bacall, producer-director Roger Corman and cinematographer Gordon Willis. The latter three received Honorary Awards.

Other previous recipients were Jerry Lewis (Hersholt Award) at the 81st Academy Awards in February 2009, Robert Boyle (Honorary Award) at the 80th Academy Awards in February 2008 and Dino De Laurentiis (Thalberg Award) at the 73rd Academy Awards in March 2001.

The Board of Governors of the Academy voted in June 2009 to establish the Governors Awards, an annual event dedicated to presenting its testimonial awards – the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award and the Honorary Award. Honorees are selected and announced in September and presented their awards in November. They are also acknowledged at the following Academy Awards ceremony.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has been busy at the end of summer, announcing a bevy of news items for its 85th Academy Awards next February. Here are all of the announcement, with the most recent first:

New music rules allow 5 nominees for Original Song

The Academy’s Board of Governors approved additional rules for the 85th Oscars with the most significant changes affecting the Original Song category.

All voting members of the Music Branch will receive a list and clips of the original songs submitted for nomination consideration. Then, they will be asked to watch the clip and vote “in the order of their preference for not more than five achievements in the category.” The five with the highest number of votes will be nominated.

Rules are reviewed annually by individual branch and category committees. The Awards Rules Committee then reviews all proposed changes before presenting its recommendations to the Board of Governors for approval. For more rules, visit the rules site on Academy’s website.

Art Direction award now known as Production Design

Upon the recommendation from the Designers Branch (formerly the Art Directors Branch), the Art Direction award will be known as the Production Design award.

The 85th Academy Awards, for outstanding film achievements of 2012, will be presented on Sunday, Feb. 24, 2013, at the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center, and will be televised live on ABC and in more than 225 countries worldwide.

Shortlist announced for Sci-Tech Awards

Seven scientific and technical achievements have been selected for further awards consideration, a kind of shortlist, the Academy’s Scientific and Technical Awards Committee announced Aug. 17.

The list was made public “to allow individuals and companies with similar devices or claims of prior art the opportunity to submit their achievements for review,” according to the press release. The deadline was Aug. 28.

The following methods or devices are up for further consideration:

• Tissue: A Physically-Based Character Simulation Framework (Weta Digital)
• Zviz: Previsualization System (Lucasfilm)

• Matthews MAX Menace Arm (Matthews Studio Equipment)

Thorough investigations will be conducted each entry and the committee will meet in early December to vote on recommendations to the Academy’s Board of Governors, which will make the final awards decisions.

The 2012 Scientific and Technical Awards will be presented at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills on Feb. 9, 2013.

Before the race to the White House this fall, there is another presidential election. The motion picture academy is looking for a new president.

Current president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Tom Sherak, is serving his final term for the non-profit organization known for the Oscars. He has served in the unpaid position for three years. The limit is actually four years, but Sherak has served as a governor for nine years now, which is the limit for serving.

By the end of Tuesday, July 31, the Academy’s Board of Governors will elect a new president among its members representing all 15 branches of the organization. After multiple round of secret balloting, the first to cross the 50 percent of the vote is elected.

The question remains: Who will be elected president, succeeding Tom Sherak?

What we know

According to Academy bylaws, the president of the Academy is elected from one of the Board of Governors. The 2012-’13 board members were recently announced and from that list the president will be elected.

Sherak, elected in August of 2009, served as the 33rd president for three one-year terms, being reelected each year since. Governors are allowed a maximum of three consecutive three-year terms and officers, four one-year terms. Thus, Sherak can no longer be a member of the board, maxing out at nine years, and a new president must be chosen.

Here is the list of all 43 governors in their corresponding branch:

• Actors: Ed Begley, Jr., Annette Bening* and Tom Hanks (recently reelected)*
• Cinematographers: John Bailey, Richard Crudo and Dante Spinotti (first-time governor)
• Designers: Jim Bissell (reelected), Rosemary Brandenburg and Jeffrey Kurland
• Directors: Kathryn Bigelow, Lisa Cholodenko (first-time governor) and Michael Mann (returning after time away)
• Documentary: Michael Apted, Rob Epstein (reelected) and Michael Moore
• Executives:Dick Cook (first-time governor), Jim Gianopulos and Robert Rehme
• Film Editors:Anne V. Coates, Mark Goldblatt (reelected) and Michael Tronick
• Makeup Artists and Hairstylists: Leonard Engelman (reelected)
• Music: Charles Fox, Arthur Hamilton (returning after time away) and David L. Newman
• Producers: Gale Anne Hurd*, Kathleen Kennedy (returning after time away) and Hawk Koch**
• Public Relations:Cheryl Boone Isaacs (producing Governors Awards)**, Rob Friedman (reelected)* and Marvin Levy
• Short Films and Feature Animation:Jon Bloom, Bill Kroyer (reelected)** and John Lasseter
• Sound: Curt Behlmer, Don Hall and Scott Millan (first-time governor)
• Visual Effects: Craig Barron, Richard Edlund and John Knoll (first-time governor)
• Writers: Bill Condon (first-time governor), Frank Pierson (1925-2012) and Phil Robinson**

*Possible presidents | **Frontrunners

The list above has 35 men and eight women — most in their 50s or 60s. The 34th president could be the first second-generation leader in the Academy’s history, or only the third woman in 85 years, or the first African-American.

Fourteen of the Academy’s 15 branches are represented by three governors, who may serve up to three consecutive three-year terms. Terms are staggered so that each branch elects or reelects one governor each year. The Makeup Artists and Hairstylists Branch is represented by a single governor.

At the end of 2011, Directors Branch governor Paul Mazursky stepped down from his seat on the Board. Lisa Cholodenko was elected to complete the two years remaining on his term and Michael Mann was elected to a new three-year term.

What the experts are saying

It’s a full-time, unpaid job. The president is the face of the Academy — for better or worse. And here is the shortlist of frontrunners, according to some of the Oscar experts:

Hawk Koch

The longtime governor is the clear frontrunner, according to TheWrap’s Steve Pond. A New York Times article in May also supports this theory.

Koch, 66, co-president of the Producers Guild of America, is the son of Howard W. Koch, a director and producer who was president of the Academy from 1977 to 1979. Koch’s father also produced eight Oscar telecasts.

The only downside to a Koch presidency is that bylaws would limit his one-year term to one since he has served on the Board for eight years already. However, Pond reports, that 10 previous presidents served terms of that length or shorter — three reasons of which include death or resignation.

Koch, part of the producers branch, has most recently served as first vice president of the Board, under Sherak.

Phil Robinson

“Writer-director Phil Alden Robinson would have substantial support if he were to indicate that he wants the job,” Pond writes.

Robinson produced last year’s Governors Awards and served most recently on the Board as vice president. He also chairs both the Awards Rules Committee and the International Outreach Committee. His chance at presidency could be handicapped, however, by a heavy professional workload.

Bill Kroyer

Animator Bill Kroyer, recently reelected governor in the Short Films and Feature Animation Branch, is another strong possibility for president.

Kroyer “is described as an increasingly active governor whose election would amount to a boardroom rebellion by animators and others who have often taken a back seat at the Academy,” Michael Cieply, of The New York Times, wrote in May.

Cheryl Boone Issacs

Publicity Branch Governor Cheryl Boone Isaacs would be the Academy’s first African-American president and only the third woman. Bette Davis served for two months in 1941 before resigning and Fay Kanin served a full four-term presidency from 1979 to 1983.

Boone Issacs is also producing this year’s Governors Awards.

Others

An actor as president would return the Board to its roots. Douglas Fairbanks was the first president of the Academy in 1927. The most recent was Karl Malden from 1989 to 1992. Actors Branch Governors Tom Hanks or Annette Bening could be elected president, but the job’s heavy workload would be challenging for both of the full-time actors.

From the Board’s eight women, Pond names two clear candidates: Producer Gale Anne Hurd, a second-year governor, with a heavy professional workload, and public relations executive Boone Isaacs.

Public Relations Branch Governor Rob Friedman, co-chairman and CEO of Summit Entertainment, is was also named as a potential candidate.

Some interesting facts from Pond:

In the last 25 years, the job has gone to governors from the Executives Branch twice and the Public Relations, Writers, Directors and Actors Branches once each. All six presidents have been white men, at an average age of 67 when they first assumed office; Bob Rehme was the youngest at 57 the first time he took the job, Frank Pierson the oldest at 76.

The 85th Academy Awards, for outstanding film achievements of 2012, will be presented on Sunday, Feb. 24, 2013, at the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center, and will be televised live on ABC and in more than 225 countries worldwide.

The 4th Annual Governors Awards will be three weeks later than the previous three years, being held on Saturday, Dec. 1, motion picture academy president Tom Sherak announced on July 9.

Marketing executive Cheryl Boone Isaacs will produce the event for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the organization responsible for the Oscars. She will share the duties with Don Mischer Productions, the company’s fourth show. The team will be led by Don Mischer, Charlie Haykel and Juliane Hare.

One or more of the Academy’s highest honors — the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award and the Honorary Award — will be presented at the event in the newly named Ray Dolby Ballroom at the Hollywood & Highland Center.

Last year, honorary awards were given to actor James Earl Jones and legendary makeup man Dick Smith. Oprah Winfrey was honored with the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. Each received Oscar statuettes.

The 2012 honorees will be selected at a special Board of Governors meeting in August.

Boone Isaacs is a member of the Academy’s Board of Governors, representing the Public Relations Branch, and currently heads CBI Enterprises, Inc. where she has consulted on such films as “The Artist,” “The King’s Speech” and “Precious.”

She was the first African American woman to run a studio marketing department and was also the first African American woman elected to the Academy’s Board of Governors. Boone Isaacs has served as president of theatrical marketing for New Line Cinema and executive vice president of worldwide publicity for Paramount Pictures. She planned publicity campaigns for “Forrest Gump” and “Braveheart,” each of which won multiple Academy Awards, including Best Picture.

Mischer, a veteran TV producer and director, has 15 Emmy Awards and a record 10 Directors Guild of America Awards. His three-decade long credits include producing and directing the 83rd and 84th Academy Awards, opening and closing ceremonies of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City, the 2004 Democratic National Convention and Super Bowl halftime shows.

Haykel and Hare most recently executive produced this year’s “Oscars Red Carpet Live,” the 90-minute Oscars pre-show. They were also consulting producers for the Oscars telecast.

Past producers for the Governors Awards have included writer-director Phil Robinson, former Academy president Sid Ganis and Academy Award-winning producer Bruce Cohen, who went on to co-produce the 83rd Academy Awards telecast.

The film academy’s Board of Governors recently approved rules for the 85th Academy Awards, with the most significant changes affecting the Music, Foreign Language Film, Makeup and Visual Effects categories. Here are the following changes, per category:

Music (Original Song)

In the Music (Original Song) category, the Executive Committee can now recommend a fourth songwriter for an individual song be nominated “in rare and extraordinary circumstances.” The previous rule, in effect since 2005, allowed up to two songwriters per song — although a third songwriter could be considered if he or she were found to be an essentially equal contributor.

Foreign Language

In the Foreign Language Film category, films must be submitted to the Academy in 35mm or DCP, but are no longer required to be exhibited in those formats in their countries of origin.

Makeup

The award given in the Makeup category will now be called the Makeup and Hairstyling Award. And, during the nominations process, all branch members who have seen the seven shortlisted titles will receive ballots to list their top three choices.

Visual Effects

In the Visual Effects category, nominees will be selected from a pool of 10 films chosen by the Branch Executive Committee by secret ballot. Previously, the committee could put forward as many as 10 productions or as few as seven.

Other changes

Other adjustments include standard date changes and other “housekeeping.” Rules are reviewed annually by individual branch and category committees. The Awards Rules Committee then reviews all proposed changes before presenting its recommendations to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Board of Governors for approval.

Rule changes affecting the Documentary and Short categories, also for the 85th Academy Awards, were announced in January. The Board of Governors approved a rule change requiring a movie review from The New York Times or the Los Angeles Times to qualify a documentary for the Oscars.

The “most significant changes,” said the press release, will allow more members to vote in the Documentary Feature, Animated Short Film and Live Action Short Film categories. Another change allows for Academy members to view eligible films on “digital or DVD screeners” for Documentary Feature and the short film categories.

The 85th Academy Awards, for outstanding film achievements of 2012, will be presented on Sunday, Feb. 24, 2013, at the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center, and will be televised live on ABC and in more than 225 countries worldwide.
