If last year is any indication, we are approximately two months away from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announcing its recipients for the upcoming Governors Awards. These are the annual non-competitive trophies which include Honorary Oscars, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, and the Irving Thalberg Memorial Award.
In recent years, some truly inspiring choices received these accolades, including David Lynch, Lina Wertmüller, Wes Studi, Elaine May, Danny Glover, and Peter Weir.
