The Deadline platform reported that.
The event was not broadcast.
The Honorary Oscar is awarded for “outstanding lifetime achievement in motion pictures, exceptional contributions to the advancement of motion picture art and science, and outstanding service to the academy.” The 14th Academy Awards ceremony was supposed to take place on November 18, 2023, but was postponed due to strikes by actors and screenwriters in Hollywood.
The strike by the American Federation of Television and Motion Picture Actors, a union representing approximately 160,000 people, began on July 14 and has effectively halted all production at US film studios. The actors demanded higher wages, compensation for overtime and restrictions on the use of artificial intelligence in cinema.
