Robert Osborne speaks as part of the award presentation to Honorary Award recipient Angela Lansbury at the 2013 Governors Awards in the Dolby Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland in Hollywood, CA, Saturday, November 16.
+cats pajamas I agree. For years they used to be! Instead we have to look at the best of animated films...probably a worth category but my goodness gracious, where's the perspective????
Robert Osborne was an elite interviewer. He treated his guests with dignity and class .Gotta watch his interview of Angela Lansbury She may not have been the biggest star in Hollywood but she gave some of the most memorable performances
I am glad she was finally able to get the Honorary Oscar. Now, while there is still time, Academy, please strongly consider Maureen O'Hara- who has never been nominated for an acting Oscar, but has appeared in Oscar winning films from The Hunchback of Notre Dame, How Green Was My Valley, Miracle on 34th Street, The Quiet Man, and The Parent Trap. She is stateside now, in her mid-90s, has still strong recollections of her time in film, and she deserves recognition for her talents and her contributions to the film industry.
I, too, agree that Angela Lansbury deserved this honorary Oscar. And I also agree that Maureen O'Hara is equally deserving. Good night, look at that short list of credentials listed in outinsider's post. Maybe we should all petition Robert Osborne to help with this. She's an international treasure--it's past time!
I wholeheartedly agree with the proposal that Maureen O'Hara should receive the Governor's Oscar for career achievement. There was also an effort to give the same award to Doris Day, however, I believe that Day would be extremely reluctant to attend at this stage of her life. With respect to Lansbury, her crowning film achievement was the portrayal of Ms. Iselin in Frankenheimer's "The Manchurian Candidate". Sinatra, to his credit, after lobbying for Lucille Ball for the role, recognized Lansbury's artistry and was instrumental in casting her in this classic.
I agree that Lansbury was stellar (chillingly so) in "The Manchurian Candidate." She is incredibly versatile. Doris Day is also versatile and deserving. O'Hara is in her nineties, but she did attend a birthday celebration in her honor in August, so I think she would at the very least, accept via video feed. She is not a recluse.
I'm new in the "band" but I would like to say that that Angela Lansbury is one the most great actresses we have in this "world" if we can call that way (in 2016-2017) so we can stay at home and watch what we like !!!! Who's whith me ?!!!
A big lesson for the actual and future actors !!! look what have done Angela, Julie (Andrews), Barbra(Streinsand) and others ... are they able to do it ?!!!
Angela Lansbury was always great on Murder she wrote. The only thing was they moved her to New York. She changed to me it's wasn't the same I am sorry they moved you to another night. Then gets cancelled
Now here is one Honorary Oscar that deserves to be handed out on Oscar night!!!

DAMN RIGHT!!!!!!!!!
Yes! Also wish there'd have been a video clip..
Two of the best human beings to ever work in Hollywood: Robert Osborne and Angela Lansbury.

Yes they did! Thanks Angela for all your hard work for films, tv and Broadway!
Aww, Robert Osborne, you will dearly missed!

RIP Angela Lansbury. Legend.

Angela must have more than an Oscar !!!! Here in France we deserve a Cesar (which is like an Oscar) for a whole carreer !!! It's a Cesar of Honnor !!
RIP Robert Osborne (1932-2017) And Angela Lansbury (1925-2022)
I've seen the episode of Private Screenings between him and Angela a good amount of times.
I was there at Grauman's theater when Osborne interviewed her before they showed "Gaslight". She was utterly charming.
Very well said.
He reminds me of Robert Wagner, for some reason. Not just because they have the same first name.
A big lesson for the actual and future actors !!! look what have done Angela, Julie (Andrews), Barbra(Streinsand) and others ... are they able to do it ?!!!
long over due
sorry to say but robert sounds unwell and shaky..
of course I don't talk about Sean Connery or Harrison Ford (oups !!! ) who are my two great men !!!
