I recently looked up Mel Brooks to make sure he’s still alive. He is.

Took me a few secs to get this!!

Good for her, she’s probably just ready for an Oscar no matter what kind, but I wish someone would’ve written her a meaty role to get a competitive Oscar instead! She isn’t retired yet!

[genbu_no_miko24]

It's possible cause Spike Lee got an Honorary Oscar and then finally won a competitive oscar with Blackkklansman

[donaestrangera]

Ooh good I was about to Google if anybody had ever won an Honorary then a Competitive.

Let’s manifest this into existence for her!

Walt Disney and Laurence Olivier got some before actually winning a few. So it is possible.

Ennio Morricone got an Honorary one first and then won a competitive one too!

It's from Mel Brook's Spaceballs!

a parody of stars wars and space movies.
