Never once nominated for an Oscar (an embarrassment to the organization), he was the production designer for Best Picture winner “A Beautiful Mind” and nominees “Hidden Figures” and “King Richard.” His other credits include “Mars Attacks!,” “To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything,” “Analyze This,” and “Wag the Dog.” Her credits include choreographing the Oscars ceremony seven times, as well as features such as “Forget Paris,” “A Jazzman’s Blues,” and “The Six Triple Eight.” Her producing credits include “Amistad” and “A Star for Rose.” In front of the camera, she is best known for “Fame,” “Ragtime,” and “Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life is Calling.” Her lengthy television credits include 3 Emmy Awards as well as two honorary Emmys, and four wins in the Outstanding Achievement in Choreography category. The Academy also makes clear that the Honorary Award is given “to honor extraordinary distinction in lifetime achievement, exceptional contributions to the state of motion picture arts and sciences in any discipline, or for outstanding service to the Academy.”
