  THAT'S MY BOY Will Peter O'Toole deign to attend the Oscars or won't he? The Academy offered him an honorary Oscar last month, which he declined ! He stressed that he was "enchanted" by the idea, but that he considered it a consolation prize (nominated seven times between 1962 and 1972, Entertainment Weekly calls him a "lifelong Oscar bridesmaid"), particularly so soon after his seventieth birthday .
From his letter to the Academy: I'm still in the game and might win the lovely bugger outright; would the Academy please defer the honor until I am 80? Although he might turn coat and come anyway, statements like these make me wonder if Peter was actually acting when he played Henry II (1154-1189) in my favorite movie of all time .
