Honorary Oscars

[andrew]

A few more possible directors: John Carpenter, Werner Herzog & Mira Nair

As for actors: Annette Bening, Michelle Pfeiffer, Gong Li & Debra Winger. Or even Julie Andrews for a bit of star power even though she's won a competitive Oscar already.

Lily Tomlin would be a wonderful choice and Bette Midler would be a controversial one.

[Greg]

I'd add Jeff Bridges and Dolly Parton to the Hersholt list.

[Reza]

Alan Alda is more tv than the movies. Ditto Judd Hirsch - tv/stage, and Rosemary Harris is basically a stage star. Doubt either will be in the running.

[jack]

I would add Jerry Bruckheimer to the Thalberg list.

I do believe they announce around June so it's not too early to speculate. Who do we think they're going to honor at the Governors Awards this year?
