Governors Awards
The Governors Awards are an annual ceremony hosted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences dedicated to honor actors and filmmakers with lifetime achievement awards. Three awards are given: the Academy Honorary Award , the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award , and the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award . Unlike the Academy Awards , the nominations and voting for these awards are restricted to members of the Board of Governors of AMPAS.
The Academy Honorary Award honors exceptional career achievements, contributions to the motion picture industry, and service to the Academy.[248] The Academy Honorary Award is often awarded in preference to those with noted achievements in motion pictures who have nevertheless never won an Academy Award. Thus, many of its recipients are Classic Hollywood stars, such as Lillian Gish , Barbara Stanwyck , Kirk Douglas , and Lauren Bacall .
Among its Honorary Awards for acting, the Academy also presents deserving young actors with the Special Juvenile Academy Award . (Most of those are not listed here; some of the early "Special Awards" that later became known in that acting category as the "Special Juvenile Academy Award" are listed with "Special Award" added parenthetically.)[249]
The Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award honors an individual's outstanding contributions to humanitarian causes.
The Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award honors creative producers, whose bodies of work reflect a consistently high quality of motion picture production.

"The Honorary Award is not called a lifetime achievement award by the Academy, but it is often given for a life's work in filmmaking – to Polish director Andrzej Wajda in 1999, for example, and to Elia Kazan the previous year [1998].... The Honorary Award also may be given for outstanding service to the Academy. The last time this happened, however, was in 1979, when an Oscar statuette was presented to Academy Governor Hal Elias , who had served more than a quarter century on the Board of Governors.
