Like last year, the honorees will not receive their awards at the Oscar telecast. Instead, they will receive them at the Governor's dinner in November. Tacky.
Is the Academy just going to let Doris Day die without honoring her?

James Earl Jones...am I the only person to think he is overrated as an actor? Sure, he has the Voice of God. Still...?
Oprah...deserved.
Doris...well, here is what I've heard: I have a friend who's longtime buddies with Doris. Year in, year out, the Academy approaches Doris. All she has to do is come and accept an Oscar...and she declines annually. She says that part of her life is over.
I hope Doris changes her mind. She is the first Movie Star that really grabbed my attention as a little kid, though I dropped her the second I beheld the magnificence of Miss Julie Andrews in "Mary Poppins" and "The Sound of Music." My love for Julie was that of a nunnery's virginal novice for Jesus.
One last thing about Doris...did I tell you that she once lived in my building? This is where she lived when her son Terry Melcher was born.
