Heston’s Award

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.”
