This is odd indeed. I mean receiv­ing an award based on your life­time achieve­ments is one thing, but receiv­ing one named after you is just strange.

bq. “Actor Charl­ton Hes­ton has been given the first Charl­ton Hes­ton award, a new prize handed out by the Amer­i­can Film Insti­tute (AFI) salut­ing act­ing tal­ent. The Hol­ly­wood actor, 79, who suf­fers from Alzheimer’s dis­ease, received the award at his home on Tues­day. Hes­ton won for appear­ing in such films as Planet of the Apes and Ben Hur.“
