ACADEMY REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF THE ACADEMY OF MOTION PICTURE ARTS AND SCIENCES
Volume 4 No. 2 June 1992
FROM THE PRESIDENT
Many of you probably
have wondered when
you'd be approached
for a contribution to
the Endowment Fund
campaign for the new
Center jor Motion
Picture Study. Don't
worry. We haven 'tforgotten
you. You 're on
our list. And you'll
be hearing from us
several times over the
next few months.
We're working on the final $5 million of the
campaign goal now. We passed the $10 million
mark injanuary. We'll be approaching each of
you by branch, and our approach will be
slightly different for each branch. Some of the
branches are "adopting " Center programs or
collections, and will be trying to create special
endowments for those adopted programs. The
Directors Branch has adopted the Special
Collections Archive, the Public Relations
Branch has adopted the Poster Collection and
the Music Branch has adopted the Film
Music Collection.
Some branches are concentrating on generating
"deferred" gifts from among the branch
membership. A deferred gift is one that won't
be paid until the death of the donor, and it
could be a bequest, a life insurance policy or a
charitable remainder trust. Deferred gifts often
allow a potential donor to make a much more
Significant gift than the donor could afford to
make in cash. An estate planning seminar to
describe some of these techniques was sponsored
thefirst week o/june by the Sound Branch.
I hope all of our members will think of this
campaign as an opportunity to make a "lifetime"
gift to the Foundation. We 've never asked
our members for contributions before and we
don 't expect to ask you again. So this is your
chance to make a personal commitment to
film history and preservation, to show your
pride in an art form that 's been financially
rewarding for most of us.
The Center is preserving our work, our contributions
to motion pictures. It 's our job to pass
that work on to posterity. Think big. Think
stupendous. Think Hollywood! 1
The Pure
JOY of the
Academy
Awards

Four happy actors backstage at the Awards: Mercedes Ruehl, Anthony
Hopkins, jodie Foster and jack Palance.
In the printed program for the 64th
Academy Awards, show producer Gilbert
Cates explained, "Motion pictures proVide
us with laughter, romance, adventure and
a deeper understanding of ourselves.
With all the extraordinary events that are
taking place today it's wonderful that we
can still get away to see a flim. That's
what we're celebrating this year at the
Oscars: The pure joy of the movies." And
celebrate we did.
Television viewers around the globe helped
us celebrate, as movie fans in 90 countries
tuned in to see what Cates, his team and
During the Awards telecast on March 30, the crew
of the space shuttle Atlantis beamed their
congratulations to Thalberg recipient George
Lucas while an Oscar floated weightlessly nearby.
On May 27 that Oscar was returned to the
the Academy voters had in store for them.
The production team - ably captained by
host Billy Crystal for the third year - also
included director Jeff Margolis, writers Hal
Kanter and Buz Kohan (with special material
by David Steinberg, Bruce Vilanch,
Robert Wuhl and Crystal), production designer
Roy Christopher, music director Bill
Conti, choreographer Debbie Allen and
costume designer Ray Aghayan.
Each viewer will retain his or her own
memories of the event: For some, it will be
the flim clip tributes to comedy and documentaries,
painstakingly researched and
