Lauren Bacall & others get an Oscar 4 months before the ceremony to save time
The actress, 85, received the award for her life's work at a private black tie dinner attended by Tom Hanks, Kirk Douglas, Steven Spielberg and Quentin Tarantino over the weekend to save time at the ceremony on March 7.
How insulting. Lauren Bacall is one of the great screen sirens of the 1940s and 1950s and gave memorable performances in such films as To Have and Have Not, The Big Sleep and Key Largo, How to Marry a Millionaire, Murder on The Orient Express and The Mirror Has Two Faces.
And this is how she is honored. Would Tom Hanks, Kirk Douglas, Steven Spielberg and Quentin Tarantino be accorded the same treatment if they were getting the same award. I think not. Clearly, there is a double standard.
Others being honored were producer-director Roger Corman, cinematographer Gordon Willis. Producer John Calley received the Irving J. Thalberg Memorial Award.
