PhotoOnce a sleepy affair, the Governors Awards, which are not televised, have become a major stop on Hollywood’s awards circuit. The honorary Oscars are handed out toward the end of the evening. This year, more than 100 people were put forward as potential honorary Oscar recipients. Although there were candidates for two other honorary Oscars — one for philanthropy and another for producing — the academy chose not to bestow those prizes this year. The deal, set to expire in 2020, will now extend through 2028, which will be the 100th anniversary of the Academy Awards.
