Jones will be joining Meryl Streep and Ralph Fiennes at the Sunday's Academy event the third annual Governors Awards, in Las Vegas. Jones, who played in more than 50 films, received an honorary Oscar on Saturday for his long career. "I'm deeply honored, mighty grateful and just plain gobsmacked," the 80-year-old actor said via video from London.
At the same honorary-given ceremony were named make-up artist Dick Smith and media mogul Oprah Winfrey. Dick was honored for his long film career, and Oprah received the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award.
