Lauren Bacall ( , born Betty Joan Perske; September 16, 1924 – August 12, 2014) was an American actress and singer known for her distinctive voice and sultry looks.
 She was named the 20th greatest female star of Classic Hollywood cinema by the American Film Institute, and received an Academy Honorary Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 2009, "in recognition of her central place in the Golden Age of motion pictures."
The Governors Awards presentation is an annual award ceremony hosted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), at the Grand Ballroom of the Hollywood and Highland Center, in the Hollywood district of Los Angeles, California.
 Three awards that signify lifetime achievement within the film industry – the Academy Honorary Award, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, and the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award – are presented at this ceremony.
 The first Governors Awards ceremony was held on November 14, 2009.
 Prior to this, these three awards were formally presented during the main Academy Awards ceremony, which now conducts a short mention and appearance of the awards recipients after displaying a montage of the Governors Awards presentation.
 In the years since, the awards have gained prominence as a major red-carpet destination and industry event.
Anne Voase Coates (born 12 December 1925) is a British film editor with a more than 60-year-long career.
 She is perhaps best known as the editor of David Lean's epic film "Lawrence of Arabia" in 1962.
 Coates has been nominated five times for the Academy Award for Film Editing for the films "Lawrence of Arabia", "Becket" (1963), "The Elephant Man" (1980), "In the Line of Fire" (1993) and "Out of Sight" (1998).
 In an industry where women accounted for only 16 percent of all editors working on the top 250 films of 2004, and 80 percent of the films had absolutely no females on their editing teams at all, Coates continues to thrive as a top film editor.
 She was awarded BAFTA's highest honour, a BAFTA Fellowship, in February 2007 and was given an Academy Honorary Award, which are popularly known as a Lifetime Achievement Oscar, in November 2016 by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
The Academy Honorary Award – instituted in 1948 for the 21st Academy Awards (previously called the Special Award, which was first presented in early 1929) – is given annually by the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) to celebrate motion picture achievements that are not covered by existing Academy Awards, although prior winners of competitive Academy Awards are not excluded from receiving the Honorary Award.
 Unless otherwise specified, Honorary Award recipients receive the same gold Oscar statuettes received by winners of the competitive Academy Awards.
 Unlike the Special Achievement Award instituted in 1972 (and discontinued in 1995), those on whom the Academy confers its Honorary Award do not have to meet "the Academy's eligibility year and deadline requirements."
 Like the Special Achievement Award, the Special Award and Honorary Award have been used to reward significant achievements of the year that did not fit in existing categories, subsequently leading the Academy to establish several new categories, and to honor exceptional career achievements, contributions to the motion picture industry, and service to the Academy.
 The Academy Honorary Award is often awarded in preference to those with noted achievements in motion pictures who have nevertheless never won an Academy Award.
 Thus, many of its recipients are Classic Hollywood stars, such as Lillian Gish, Barbara Stanwyck, Kirk Douglas, and Lauren Bacall.
Greta Garbo (born Greta Lovisa Gustafsson; ] ; 18 September 1905 – 15 April 1990), was a Swedish-born American film actress during the 1920s and 1930s.
 Garbo was nominated three times for the Academy Award for Best Actress and received an Academy Honorary Award in 1954 for her "luminous and unforgettable screen performances."
 In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked Garbo fifth on their list of the greatest female stars of classic Hollywood cinema, after Katharine Hepburn, Bette Davis, Audrey Hepburn, and Ingrid Bergman.
Sidney Arthur Lumet ( ; June 25, 1924 – April 9, 2011) was an American director, producer and screenwriter with over 50 films to his credit.
 He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director for "12 Angry Men" (1957), "Dog Day Afternoon" (1975), "Network" (1976), and "The Verdict" (1982).
 He did not win an individual Academy Award, but he did receive an Academy Honorary Award and 14 of his films were nominated for various Oscars, such as "Network", which was nominated for ten, winning four.
Flesh and the Devil (1926) is a romantic drama silent film released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and stars Greta Garbo, John Gilbert, Lars Hanson, and Barbara Kent, directed by Clarence Brown, and based on the novel "The Undying Past" by Hermann Sudermann.
Richard Emerson Smith (June 26, 1922 – July 30, 2014) was an American special make-up effects artist, (nicknamed "The Godfather of Make-Up") known for his work on such films as "Little Big Man", "The Godfather", "The Exorcist", "Taxi Driver", and "Scanners".
 He won a 1985 Academy Award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling for his work on "Amadeus" and received a 2012 Academy Honorary Award for his career's work.
The Robert Honorary Award (Danish: "Æres-Robert" , Honorary Robert) has been given since 1986 as one of the Robert Awards (Danish: "Robert prisen" ) by the Danish Film Academy.
 It is the Danish equivalent of the American Academy Honorary Award.
Kevin Brownlow (born 2 June 1938) is a British film historian, television documentary-maker, filmmaker, author, and film editor.
 Brownlow is best known for his work documenting the history of the silent era.
 Brownlow became interested in silent film at the age of eleven.
 This interest grew into a career spent documenting and restoring film.
 He has rescued many silent films and their history.
 His initiative in interviewing many largely forgotten, elderly film pioneers in the 1960s and 1970s preserved a legacy of early mass-entertainment cinema.
 Brownlow received an Academy Honorary Award at the 2nd Annual Governors Awards given by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on 13 November 2010.
 This was the first occasion on which an Academy Honorary Award was given to a film preservationist.
