Nope, it is an honorary award....not a true Oscar.

Good for him as an actor, yeah, but that's about it. His disdian for a person's right to protest in Hong Kong and etc are less than stellar.

Do you really "win" an honorary Oscar when it's awarded specifically to you without competition? Anyway, he deserves the acknowledgment.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

In the English language, we often use "win" an award interchangeably with "was presented with". The oscats didnt interchange, OP did.

So did The Guardian, it seems.

I'd say his and Leonardo's mean far FAR more than anyone else's.

Forbidden Kingdom was one of his best. The part where he and Jet Lee had the fight was friggin great.

Ok, how many Jackie Chan movies do you know?

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Dude, you're watching the wrong movies. Project A, Armour of God, Police Story and many others. His 80's flicks are the best.

He's a great entertainer, but fuck I do despise his political leanings and his betrayals

I... don't think I wanna know about them. I've heard about enough beloved celebrities darker sides, as of late.

I always felt like he's just trying to be proud of his country. It's just difficult given the history. :(

He's basically for Hong Kong to region China right?

Good for him :-). IIRC, MTV gave him a lifetime achievement award about two decades ago (for what little that's worth).

I love that he prefers a traditional piece over these 0-8-15 suits.

9 years ago | Likes 68 Dislikes 0

SO agree. I'd love to see more diverse traditional formals at events.

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

I think they do it so the men can't outdress the women

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I'm pretty sure it's because western dress is considered more "standard" in Hollywood, which is kind of tired, give me some kilts and kurtas

9 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

As a boring white person, can I borrow someone else's native dress or am I stuck with suit and tie?

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

There's plenty of interesting and unusual traditional European outfits to pick from

I'm trying to google 0-8-15 and all I'm getting are math results

The insult "nul acht funfzehn" (0-8-15) — “standard issue / mediocre” in reference to standard issue rifles during WWI.

9 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 0

It's a German saying meaning something along the lines of run off the mill or standard/boring with a slight negative connotation.

what a very deserving award for a wonderful entertainer. Good for him and good for The genre of film he represented

9 years ago | Likes 393 Dislikes 0

i kinda just consider any film starring him to be a separate genre that I refer to as Jackie Chan films

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Not just an entertainer but a great person too. Check out Dragon's Heart Foundation. He made it possible to build hundreds of school.

I always loved the choreography in his movies. Tons of action with crazy stunts, yet minimal camera cuts. Pure entertainment.
