Hollywood sound editor Don Hall will receive the John A. Bonner Medal of Commendation during the Oscars Scientific and Technical Awards Dinner.
Hall has worked on more than 90 films in five decades, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences said in a news release Friday.
He will receive the Bonner medallion Feb. 18 at the Beverly Hilton.
"Don has been ubiquitous around the academy at anything relating to technology ... and especially to the art and science of motion picture sound," academy President Sid Ganis said in a statement.
Hall has worked on "The Bridge on the River Kwai," "The French Connection," "Young Frankenstein" and "A Walk in the Clouds."
He was head of sound editing departments at 20th Century-Fox Studios, Walt Disney Studios, Quinn-Martin Productions and Spelling Goldberg Productions before establishing Don Hall Productions, an independent sound editing company.
