LOS ANGELES — The Academy Awards won’t be presented until March, but the first Oscars of the season were handed out Saturday night at a black-tie dinner.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences broke with tradition to present its honorary Oscars away from the televised ceremony. Actress Lauren Bacall, producer-director Roger Corman, cinematographer Gordon Willis and producer John Calley received Oscars at the inaugural Governors Awards event. Excerpts will be shown during the 82nd annual Academy Awards on March 7.
