O'Toole
did win an honorary Oscar in 2002 that was inscribed
"Whose remarkable talents have provided cinema history
with some of its most memorable characters." He originally intended
to turn it down feeling that the lifetime award signaled the end
of his career. He wrote the Academy a letter stating that he was
"still in the game" and would like more time to "win the
lovely bugger outright."
It was only after the Academy informed him that they
were bestowing the award on him whether he came to collect it or not that
he relented.
