"Mac" Dalgleish, and Arthur Piantadosi. According to Bob, despite their excellent intentions, there were some executives that were concerned about this growing group. Waldon "Waddy" Watson, the head of the sound department at Universal Studios, sent a few corporate members to talk to Hoyt to get assurances that the Cinema Audio Society was not another union. Bob confirmed it was not. Bob Hoyt stayed on as President for a second term in 1967. The Executive Board remained the same except for a new treasurer: John "Skee" Stransky. And Board members James "Chip" Gaither and David Dockendorf were added. The first CAS Dinner Dance was held April 22, 1967, at the Beverly Hills Hotel. The Cinema Audio Society was instrumental in changing the rules of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Prior to 1969, the Oscars were only given to the heads of the Sound Department, not the mixers. Thanks to Bob Hoyt, the CAS, the AMPAS Sound Branch, and the Board of Directors of the 41st Academy Awards, the Oscar was given to re-recording mixer Murray Spivack and production mixer Jack Soloman for Hello Dolly! In 1976, Hoyt won the Oscar for Jaws, along with re-recording mixers Roger Heman and Earl Madery. Best Production Sound was awarded to John Carter. This was the first year four Oscar statues were given to the sound mixing team. In his 87 years, Robert L. Hoyt CAS made a difference and the world is a better place for it. • ZMT3 PHANTOM 2 QRX200 WIDE-BAND DIGITAL RECORDING WIRELESS WITH ENHANCED RANGE AND AUTOMATIC TRACKING FRONT END RECEIVER FILTER DIGITAL MODULATION 100% digital modulation for superior quality ENCRYPTED AUDIO keeps transmitted audio private QRX200 LIGHT AND VERSATILE THE ULTIMATE IN RECEIVER FLEXIBILITY records and transmits at the same time accepts both lavalier and phantom microphones smallest, lightest phantom powered transmitter available C M Y CM MY CY CMY K Zaxcom_CAS-695_ZMT-QRX_HR.pdf 1 1/17/19 4:53 PM Steven Spielberg Jaws
