Re: Honorary Oscars
It's also a big political statement ahead of the elections. Giving the Jean Hersholt award to a staunch liberal and pro-Obama fundraiser. Don't think for a second that concept wasn't in the mind when they voted.

Re: Honorary Oscars
I think this is actually a pretty good list...they probably wouldn't have been my first choices, or jumped out right at me, but they are all respectable, life-long career film people who have innovated a broad range of unheralded aspects of movie making, and no one can question Katzenberg's philanthrophy!

Re: Honorary Oscars
Another sausage fest from the Academy. I hate their new system. Their choices are ALWAYS compromise choices.

Re: Honorary Oscars
Needham is being honored for his stunt work, not his directing of crappy Burt Reynolds movies.
