The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences named the 19 achievements that will be celebrated by the Academy at the Scientific and Technical Awards Presentation Saturday, Feb. 15.
The awards will be presented separately from the Oscars, and are, indeed, awarded through a different process. The technologies honored do not need to have been invented in the year 2013 to win, rather, they need to have been proven to be vital contributions to filmmaking.
“This year’s honorees have in a myriad of ways enabled today’s moviegoing experience. Their efforts have advanced not only the art and science of motion pictures, but the work of countless global industries,” proclaimed Richard Edlund, the Scientific and Technical Awards Committee Chair, himself an Oscar-winner for his work in visual effects.
Here is the entire list as presented in the press official Academy press release:

Autodesk has signed an agreement to acquire substantially all the assets of Skymatter Limited, the New Zealand-based developer of Mudbox 3-D modeling software. The transaction is expected to close in the next two months. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"Entertainment and design markets are demanding more integrated technology workflows, as well as increased realism and sophistication," said Marc Petit, senior vp at Autodesk Media & Entertainment. "In order to create advanced digital characters and models, 3-D artists are relying on Skymatter's Mudbox software, along with Autodesk's 3-D solutions. By acquiring Skymatter, Autodesk will be able to offer a more complete solution for film, television and game pipelines, as well as new workflows for other design disciplines, such as automotive and industrial design."
Per the agreement, Skymatter founders and CG veterans Andrew Camenisch, Dave Cardwell and Tibor Madjar will join Autodesk's Media & Entertainment business. They, along with the Skymatter operations, will relocate to Autodesk's Toronto offices, the prime R&D hub for Autodesk's 3-D software Maya.
