It's About Time for Bacall!



Throughout her distinguished career, Lauren Bacall has been recognized, nominated, and rewarded for her groundbreaking roles, distinctive abilities, and personal choices.  However, one specific award always managed to elude her.

In 1997, after over 50 successful years in movies which included work in some of today's classics with a variety of the most well-known movie stars of the time, Lauren Bacall was finally nominated for her first Academy Award for her supporting role in The Mirror Has Two Faces.

However, the competition that year was fierce and the little golden man fell into the hands of the lovely Juliette Binoche for her supporting role in The English Patient.

Finally, this year, not long after her 85th birthday, the dazzling actress was awarded an Honorary Academy Award for her life's work, which was presented at the Inaugural Governor's Awards which took place on November 14, months ahead of the widely televised and more well-known Academy Awards show.
