He did get a lifetime achievement award a few years ago...but it is just not the same as an Oscar and I think he knows this was his last chance. He has got lots of company, though, of great actors who never got the Oscar...John Wayne comes to mind...
John Wayne won for True Grit.
Thanks for the info on that. Nice to know they did honor him. Sorry, but I haven't been watching many of these "pat ourselves on the backs"celebrations put on by Hollywood since Sept. 11, 2001.
Just got a bit jaded.
