Indeed he did. Cannes hono(u)red Satyajit Ray for his career's work
in 1982, by showing every single film he had made by then. Similar
Retrospective "Career" awards have been given to him
by the Berlin, Venice and Moscow Festivals as well. The Special Oscar
was the only major "Career" award that was left, and I am glad
that it has finally been awarded.

I give below a list of major International awards given to Satyajit
Ray for his films. I have excluded Indian Film awards (18 of his
films have been awarded President's medals or top Indian Festival
Prizes). I've included the Bangla names, where not obvious. 
The list is not exhaustive. More comprehensive lists can be found in:

      (In the U.S., it is published by University of California Press).

       on Ray and by Ray", Directorate of Film Festivals, New Delhi, 1981.
