They have changed the format for this of late, since the 2011 show, the Honorary Award (which is what the lifetime achievement actually is) has been given to more than one person and not awarded on the night itself (for example, James Earl Jones was given his award on stage in the west end when he was doing driving miss daisy.)

The receipts for 2012 (for this years awards) were/are Hal Needham, D.A. Pennebaker and George Stevens Jr (Jeffrey Katzenberg was given the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award.)

They were presented the awards on dec 1st last year.

Ladies and Gentlemen.....Tom Cruise.

Maybe not this year, but I suspect that Hollywood will "reward" his career with this one and only Oscar.

Maybe posthumous awards for Broccoli and Saltzman, the original Bond producers?

I think Broccoli's children still co-produce Bond even today, so they could accept on their behalf, & I think that it would be a very fitting lifetime achievement award, to coincide with the Bond 50th anniversary.

Other than for original songs, Bond The Franchis is never really likely to pick up any awards for anything else, is it?
