I love Clooney, but yikes. Way too young.
Pretty sure Hackman had to have turned it down by now, along with a lot of older people more deserving than Clooney. Tom Hanks was even younger than Clooney when he received his in 2002 (I believe he was 45 or 46) ! That being said , I would have prefered someone else as well. |

The least deserving honoree yet, but Hollywood loves to fellate this man in a way that is out of proportion to his actual impact on the culture, which is minimal, in my opinion.

Seriously? I'm all for honoring Clooney... in 20-30 years, if he keeps it up, but what has he truly done to deserve it at this point? I agree that Hollywood seems to mistakenly think Clooney's immense respect within the industry translates to the public or at least grossly overestimate it. Honestly, Nicole Kidman would seem more deserving right now in comparison, not that I want to give them any ideas.

I don't really get Hollywood's fascination with him. He's pretty good at everything he does, but they act as though he's some transcendent talent. He doesn't have a catalog full of iconic work, he wasn't the face of some universally beloved masterpiece, he hasn't broke new ground in any field he's dabbled in. Hell, aside from his general off-screen popularity, he's probably most famous for Ocean's 11 or being part of the worst Batman, not exactly the best argument for getting a Lifetime Achievement Award at 56.

Ehhh, he's an interesting guy so it should at least be an interesting awards show.
Surprised Redford or Julie Andrews haven't gotten one yet, though. Hackman is probably too grouchy to do something like this, though, as another poster alluded to.

The guy's young enough that he probably doesn't even need Viagra, but he's getting a lifetime achievement award?  |
