    Director: Francis Ford Coppola. He should have received it by now.

    Actress: Julia Roberts or Jodie Foster, although I wouldn’t count out Sophia Loren.

    Actor: Anthony Hopkins or Gene Hackman. Maybe Tom Cruise.

    It’s ridiculous that Coppola hasn’t received this, the Cecil B. DeMille, or the Kennedy Center Honors yet.

    Robert Redford is overdue too.

    You have to attend the event so Hackman is unlikely.

    I’ll say the next 10 picks will be:

    Jeff Bridges
    Coen brothers
    Francis Ford Coppola
    Tom Cruise
    Sally Field
    Jodie Foster
    Spike Lee
    Robert Redford
    Julia Roberts
    Susan Sarandon

    I heard that Redford has refused it because of Sundance. I don’t know if that’s true.

    Yeah the lack of honorary awards for Coppola is puzzling.

    You’re right about Hackman but who knows if he’ll be willing.

    Cross off Sarandon for political reasons. Redford is unlikely if the feud between AFI and Sundance is ongoing, which makes me doubt the chances of ever receiving the honorary.

    Yeah, I heard the same from GD’s Chris Beachum years ago.

    But I’m wondering if his stance is different now that he’s stepped away from Sundance.

    "And there on top of his head were faces like she had seen only in a dream, almost too beautiful to be recognized as people at all:
    the most beautiful woman and the most beautiful man in the world, she the female version of him, and he the male version of her    "

    They're too basic for Miss Burstyn i'm afraid. A feminist pioneer of the 1970s (a male-predominant decade for actors), the co-president of Actors Studio, a Triple Crown of Acting winner, starred in one of the biggest movie ever in America, now at age 89 and still steadily working. Yet nothing

    Joanne Woodward, but she can't attend, so I doubt they will give it to her.
