2017Honorary Oscar -- "indelible characters"On 6 September 2017 the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announces that Sutherland will receive an Honorary Oscar "for a lifetime of indelible characters, rendered with unwavering truthfulness." He is honoured at the ceremony by Jennifer Lawrence, Colin Farrell and Whoopi Goldberg. It is his only Academy Award in a career spanning six decades -- a belated acknowledgement of the most glaring omission in the Academy's history. He is widely considered the greatest actor never to have received a competitive Oscar nomination.
