Altman to receive honorary Oscar
Robert Altman has been praised for his innovation.
Film director Robert Altman is to receive an honorary Oscar for his life's work. Altman, 80, has been nominated for best director five times but failed to win.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences praised a "career that has repeatedly reinvented the art form and inspired film-makers and audiences".
The films which earned him Oscar nominations were Short Cuts, Gosford Park, The Player, Mash and Nashville.
Altman is one of four film-makers who have been nominated on five occasions but never picked up an award.
The others are Martin Scorsese, Alfred Hitchcock, Clarence Brown and King Vidor.
His next film, A Prairie Home Companion, is due to be released in June.
