“The Honorary Award was created for artists like Jackie Chan, Anne Coates, Lynn Stalmaster and Frederick Wiseman, true pioneers and legends in their crafts.
As luck would have it, Chan will be given an honorary award at the eighth annual Academy’s Governor Awards later this November.
The board is proud to honor their extraordinary achievements, and we look forward to celebrating with them at the Governors Awards in November.”
After years spent as an instantly recognizable face on the silver screen, Chan’s reception of an honorary Oscar should be the source of some celebration among film fans the world over.
