  "account": "Glenn Close and Ridley Scott will receive honorary Oscars at the Governors Awards ceremony on Sunday night. The 79-year-old actor, who has long been considered among the best without ever winning an Oscar, will hold an Oscar and make an acceptance speech after coming close to winning eight times. Ridley Scott, the 88-year-old director known for works such as \"Alien,\" \"Blade Runner,\" and \"Gladiator,\" will also be honored despite never winning despite four nominations. Disney animator Floyd Norman, who began his 65-year career in 1956 and co-founded Killer Films with Christine Vachon and Pamela Koffler, will also be honored. Both Vachon and Koffler will receive the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award for their work as producers.",
