The 15th Governors Awards lauded this effort, by awarding an Honorary Oscar to Juliet Taylor, who has cast for more than 100 movies including Taxi Driver, Schindler’s List, Manhattan, and Annie Hall. Having also introduced legendary actors like Jeff Daniels, Meryl Streep and Joaquin Phoenix, Taylor’s contribution to cinema is indelible. While accepting her award from Nicole Kidman, Taylor gushed over her performance in Flirting, before honouring fellow awardee Quincy Jones, who passed away earlier this month. — Vedant KariaAlso read: How Sanchari Das Mollick became the first Bengali to be part of an Oscar win in person
