Nothing if that actor indeed deserves the award. I've always had problems
with Washington, he seems to me to repeating the same performance over &
over. I also don't like him as a person. He's very homophobic, and besides he
already won a supporting actor Oscar. As far as lifetime awards go, the list
is endless. How about Doris Day? Although I've heard that she's turned down
every honor offered.
