Remember when the Oscar ceremonies considered it to be a highlight to present a lifetime achievement Oscar to a legendary veteran of the industry? Those were before such wonderful moments were excluded from the broadcast in favor of cramming in time-wasting comedy bits that would be more appropriate for the late-night talk shows. Today, the awards are presented at a separate ceremony and the broadcast treats viewers to a few cursory seconds of the recipient's acceptance speech. At least the great moments live on via YouTube, as evidenced by this wonderful presentation to Peter O'Toole in 2003. As Meryl Streep points out in her marvelous introduction, O'Toole had been nominated for the Oscar seven times, but never received one. O'Toole is the epitome of grace, humility and class in his acceptance speech, much to the delight of the legendary actors in the audience, including his old pals Sean Connery and Michael Caine. - Lee Pfeiffer
