It's a good thing Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier and director Arthur Hiller received their special Oscars in 2002. Variety reports that as part of an effort to downsize the marathon running time of the annual Oscar show, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has voted to trim the honorary awards, starting with next year's 75th annual presentation. That show is set for March 23, 2003. As per the new rules, the academy's board of governors agreed to regulate the selection process and voting procedures for all the honorary prizes (the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award, for producing excellence; the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award; and honorary Academy Awards). They will also limit the number of annual honorees to one or, at most, two. Earlier this week, PEOPLE.com reported that the academy will likely push up the date of the Oscars from late March to late February starting in 2004. "The major objective is to re-energize the show," academy executive director Bruce Davis told the Associated Press. "We should also be candid about the fact that the board has been eyeing all the awards season clutter with a jaundiced eye over the last few years."
