Ridley Scott Will Miss the Governors Awards on Nov. 15, Accepting His Honorary Oscar Remotely
Director Ridley Scott will miss the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' 17th Governors Awards ceremony and will accept his Academy Honorary Award remotely, The Hollywood Reporter reported exclusively on November 9.
The Governors Awards will be held on Sunday, November 15, at the Ray Dolby Ballroom at Ovation Hollywood in Los Angeles, presented in partnership with Rolex. The Academy's Board of Governors voted in June to present Academy Honorary Awards to actor Glenn Close, animator Floyd Norman and director Ridley Scott, and the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award to producers Christine Vachon and Pamela Koffler. The Honorary Award honors extraordinary distinction in lifetime achievement, exceptional contributions to the state of motion picture arts and sciences, or outstanding service to the Academy.
Scott, 88, has directed films including Alien, Blade Runner and Gladiator over a decades-long career. He received Oscar nominations for directing Thelma & Louise, Gladiator and Black Hawk Down, as well as a Best Picture nomination as a producer of The Martian, but has never won a competitive Oscar. Academy President Lynette Howell Taylor called Scott 'a true visionary whose decades-long legacy has left an immeasurable impact on global cinema and culture.'
The Hollywood Reporter's exclusive did not state a reason for Scott's absence from the ceremony. He will accept the honorary Oscar statuette remotely.
