'Love Actually' will get a sequel this spring

When Jackie Chan saw an Oscar at Sylvester Stallone&#39;s house 23 years ago, he said that was the moment he decided he wanted one.

On Saturday at the annual Governors Awards, the Chinese actor and martial arts star finally received his little gold statuette, an honorary Oscar for his decades of work in film.

&quot;After 56 years in the film industry, making more than 200 films, after so many bones, finally,&quot; Chan, 62, quipped at the star-studded gala dinner while holding his Oscar.

The actor recalled watching the ceremony with his parents and his father always asking him why he didn&#39;t have Hollywood&#39;s top accolade despite having made so many movies.

He praised his hometown Hong Kong for making him &quot;proud to be Chinese,&quot; and thanked his fans, saying they were the reason &quot;I continue to make movies, jumping through windows, kicking and punching, breaking my bones.&quot;

The actor was introduced by his &quot;Rush Hour&quot; co-star Chris Tucker, actress Michelle Yeoh and Tom Hanks, who referred to him as &quot;Jackie &#39;Chantastic&#39; Chan.&quot;

Hanks said it was especially gratifying to be able to acknowledge Chan&#39;s work because martial arts and action comedy films were two genres often overlooked during awards season.

The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, hosts of the annual ceremony, also bestowed honorary Oscars on British film editor Anne V. Coates, casting director Lynn Stalmaster and prolific documentarian Frederick Wiseman.

The evening was attended by Hollywood&#39;s elite, including Denzel Washington, Lupita Nyong&#39;o, Nicole Kidman, Emma Stone, Ryan Reynolds, Amy Adams and Dev Patel.

Stalmaster, 88, credited with securing career-defining roles for actors such as Jeff Bridges, Andy Garcia, Christopher Reeve and John Travolta, is the first casting director to receive an Oscar.

Coates, 90, who won the film editing Oscar for 1962&#39;s &quot;Lawrence of Arabia&quot; and has edited more than 50 films, said she shared her honorary Oscar &quot;with all the unsung heroes&quot; of filmmaking.

Wiseman, 86, whose documentaries include 1970&#39;s &quot;Hospital,&quot; 1987&#39;s &quot;Blind&quot; and last year&#39;s &quot;In Jackson Heights,&quot; said: &quot;I think it&#39;s as important to document kindness, ability and generosity of spirit as it is to show cruelty, banality and indifference,&quot; he said.

Five decades and 200 films later, Jackie Chan 'finally' wins Oscar

Darsheel Safary, who kissed stardom at the tender age of nine in Aamir Khan starrer &#39;Taare Zameen Par&#39;, feels coming back to the film industry will not be yet another fight for him. 
 
&quot;My comeback will not be a different fight, as I have not been that away from the industry. I have done shows, events, theatres and even reality shows. I have done small things once in a year so that the people remember there is someone called Darsheel Safary,&quot; he told ANI on the sidelines of day one of India Kids Fashion Week. 
 
&quot;So, I have not secluded myself. So that way, once I comeback, if people like what you are doing then they will just like it,&quot; he added. Darsheel, now 19-year-old, was also seen in some other projects like &#39;Midnight&#39;s Children, &#39;Zokkomon,&#39; and reality show &#39;Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 5&#39;, besides others. 
 
When asked about his future plans, Darsheel said, &quot;I want to try everything out and finally do what I love. But it is acting for sure. Whatever you see me doing in future is in this industry only.&quot; &nbsp;Donning a cool casual avatar in blue colored vacation style T-Shirt with a cool blue pair of jeans, Darsheel was in Gurugram on June 18 to walk for leading apparel brand MAX&#39;s spring summer collection. Sharing his experience of walking the ramp, he said, &quot;It was brilliant. I had a lot of fun. I went back to my childhood days as they played Bum Bum Bole (on the ramp). I felt like a kid and even it feels good to be around with kids.&quot;
