A NATIVE American actor will receive an Oscar for the first time, organisers said on Monday, as the Academy published a list of honorary prizes following years of controversy over the awards' diversity.
Wes Studi - best known for his roles in Dances With Wolves and The Last Of The Mohicans - is one of three industry veterans who will receive honorary prizes at the glitzy Governors Awards ceremony on Oct 27, along with filmmakers David Lynch and Lina Wertmuller.
