Hayao Miyazaki is being presented with an honorary Oscar.

That's awesome! Well deserved.
They should really come up with a new name for these. I've never heard of honorary oscars, but it sounds like pandering to people who don't/can't win real oscars. Like being an honorary member of something. Or being an honorable mention for something. When I read the headline I almost sneered that Miyazaki was getting something in which it sounds like he'd be too good for. When in fact these are apparently life-time achievement awards or something. Stop being fucking confusing Hollywood

I guess you don't want this honorary Ciddie then...

Fairly certain he won an actual Oscar for Spirited Away. This seems like a lifetime achievement award.
Few people are more deserving.
Take care all.

They usually do call it the "Lifetime Achievement Award", not "Honorary Oscar".
