"Emotions ran high at the third annual Governors Awards on Saturday night as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences celebrated the careers of actor James Earl Jones and make-up artist Dick Smith and then paid tribute to Oprah Winfrey, the recipient of its Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award.

Jones, who accepted his honor remotely, from a theater stage in London where he is currently appearing in Driving Miss Daisy opposite Vanessa Redgrave, said, ?I am deeply honored, mighty grateful and? ? showing off a word he had learned in the U.K. ? ?just plain gobsmacked.?'
