Bob Boyle received an Honorable Academy Award in 2008 "in recognition of one of the great careers in art direction." A member of the Production Design faculty since 1982, Bob Boyle entered the film profession in 1933. Seven years later, he began his long association with Alfred Hitchcock, designing such films as SABOTEUR, THE BIRDS and MARNIE. In 2000, AFI Conservatory alumnus Daniel Raim (PD '99) co-wrote and directed an Oscar-nominated documentary on Boyle's work, entitled THE MAN ON LINCOLN'S NOSE--the original working title for a classic Hitchcock/Boyle collaboration, NORTH BY NORTHWEST.
