Is this true? Angela Lansbury to recceive Honoray Oscar
The Academy Awards are going A-list this year with their honorary Oscars (i.e., the ones they stopped putting on TV because you were just skipping out to take your bathroom break then anyway.) At a Nov. 16 ceremony, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award will be presented to Angelina Jolie — at 38, by far the youngest person and only the seventh woman to receive the Hollywood do-gooder prize. The academy cited Jolie for her humanitarian work with organizations like the UN and the Council on Foreign Relations. Meanwhile, their annual lifetime-achievement trophies — aka the “Sorry you haven’t won a real Oscar yet!” prizes — will go to Angela Lansbury, Steve Martin and Italian costume designer Piero Tosi.

The source is reliable, although I had not heard anything of this previously...
If so, this is great news and long overdue.
