an honorary oscar? Is that one for someone who doesn't deserve it but fits their political mold, or someone who didn't get it before because they were busy giving someone who didn't deserve it but made a political point and won so the right person missed out on the award?

HOs are for people who have never won but have had a great career. Most of them go to people who are up in age and may die before they win a real one.
