LOS ANGELES, Nov. 13 (UPI) -- Oprah Winfrey and James Earl Jones were honored for their movie careers Saturday at the annual Governors Awards in Los Angeles.
The pre-Oscars event staged by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences saluted Jones for his overall body of work and presented Winfrey with the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award.
Also honored for his off-camera career was veteran makeup man Dick Smith, whose creations included the possessed girl in "The Exorcist" and who won an Oscar for "Amadeus."
The Governors Awards has been around three years and allows Oscar hopefuls and other Hollywood stars the opportunity to network with the Academy's governors in a non-televised setting in the weeks ahead of the Academy Awards, The Hollywood Reporter said.
