"Jim has played a crucial role in the film industry's efforts to facilitate a smooth digital transition that provides consumers new ways to enjoy Hollywood content when, where and how they want," MPAA topper Dan Glickman said in a statement. "We are delighted that he will continue to help us chart our course into the future."
Williams holds 11 U.S. patents, with another nine pending, and has won six Technology & Engineering and Advanced Media Technology Emmy Awards as part of various engineering teams.
