After a six-decade career in which he's won two Golden Globes but no Oscar, Canadian actor Donald Sutherland is finally getting the golden statuette. On Wednesday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the 82-year-old Saint John, N.B., native will be among four recipients of an honorary Oscar on Nov. 11. The award honours "extraordinary distinction in lifetime achievement, exceptional contributions to the state of motion picture arts and sciences, or for outstanding service to the academy." His other honours include an Emmy Award, a Governor General's Performing Arts Award and an officer of the Order of Canada distinction. Sutherland, who grew up in Bridgewater, N.S., also has two sons who've pursued the craft — Kiefer and Rossif.
