I called Robert Altman on this board before anyone else did. I would tack on Arthur Penn to this list as well. It looks as though either Bacall or Lansbury would be the safest bets.
Lina Wertmuller might also be a consideration.

Women have won the Honorary Oscar, including Deborah Kerr in 1994.

Considering Scorsese may have a shot at another nomination this year for The Departed, I highly doubt he will get an Honorary Award yet.

I suspect Martin Scorsese is next.
That means he´s not going to be awarded one more time. I think that the Academy will wait for that a couple of years

For some years in the 1970s I had an office in the building in New York which housed the headquarters of the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation. I used to see Jerry Lewis quite a bit. He was one of the most obnoxious people I've ever met inside or outside of show business.
The tend in recent years has been to honor directors, not actors. I suspect Martin Scorsese is next.

Jean-Louis Trintignant. In my humble opinion, he's the finest actor never to receive an Oscar nomination. The fact that he's French--and has appeared in only one American film--probably hurts him. Still, if it's not Doris Day or Richard Widmark....

Olivia de Havilland? Not likely. She had received this year a special recognition. My bet is Doris Day.

He may be a ''joke'' in America but he is taken a lot more seiously and appreciated in many parts of the world. Sad that someone who has brought so much laughter through his films (box office hits to boot) and helped people suffering through his charity work can still be considered a ''joke''.
The Jean Hersholt Humantarian award should have been his long ago!

Can anyone believe that Jerry Lewis has yet to win a Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award? Every year he raises tens of millions of dollars on that telethon of his for muscular dystrophy. This year, he raised a record $61 million. And since 1966, he's raised $1.4 billion.

You don't have Debbie Reynolds on the list, though I'm not sure she's really in competition.
Finney will never receive an Academy Awad because of his general refusal to attend the awards.
Tony Curtis' politics are a deficiency. Jerry Lewis is still a joke.
Gena Rowlands is still going, LIv Ullmann and Jeanne Moreau too foreign (though Ullmann is a lot more conceivable than Moreau).
On that list, Bacall is the most significantly likely.

Olivia de Havilland
Jean Simmons
Eleanor Parker
