John A. Bonner Medal of Commendation
|
The Medal of Commendation has been given at intervals by the Academy
Board of Governors since 1977, upon the recommendation of the Scientific
and Technical Awards Committee, "in appreciation for outstanding
service and dedication in upholding the high standards of the Academy."
In 1997, the Board of Governors voted to name the medal in honor
of sound engineer John A. Bonner, who had been director of special
projects at Warner Hollywood Studios until his death in 1996.
In 1994, Bonner himself was the last person to receive the Medal
of Commendation before his name was attached.
"No one better represents the concept of service and dedication
to the Academy than John Bonner," said Academy President Arthur
Hiller at the time. "John was dedicated to the Academy for
more than 30 years. His devotion to the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn
Theater was legendary and his commitment to the Academy was simply
extraordinary."
Bonner served as an Academy Governor representing the Sound Branch
and as chair of the Scientific and Technical Awards Committee and
the Theater Sound Inspection Committee for many years.
