Honorary Award recipients Roger Corman, Lauren Bacall, and  Gordon Willis at the 2009 Governors Awards ceremony held at the Grand Ballroom at Hollywood &#038; Highland on Saturday, November 14.
&#8220;It&#8217;s so much better &#8230; that nobody&#8217;s worrying whether 36.5 million people are watching us or 29.2,&#8221; remarked Warren Beatty, a former Irving G. Thalberg Award recipient who paid homage to this year&#8217;s Thalberg Award honoree John Calley, who, reportedly suffering from serious health issues, was unable to attend the ceremony.

The Manchurian Candidate (2004)
Direction: Jonathan Demme
Screenplay: Daniel Pyne and Dean Georgaris, from George Axelrod&#8217;s 1962 screenplay and Richard Condon&#8217;s 1959 novel
Cast: Denzel Washington, Meryl Streep, Liev Schreiber, Jon Voight, Jeffrey Wright, Kimberly Elise, Bruno Ganz, Ted Levine, Vera Farmiga, Miguel Ferrer, Dean Stockwell, Simon McBurney
