Thalberg Award

The Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award was an award given by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to the "creative producers personally responsible for a consistently high quality of motion picture production". The award itself was named after the film producer Irving G. Thalberg.
