Newman was presented an honorary Oscar at the 58th Academy Awards ceremony held on March 24, 1986. The award wasn't for one film, but "in recognition of his many and memorable compelling screen performances and for his personal integrity and dedication to his craft."

At the time, Newman had never won a competitive Oscar despite nominations for "Cat On a Hot Tin Roof" (1958), "The Hustler" (1961), "Hud" (1963), "Cool Hand Luke" (1967), "Absence of Malice" (1981) and "The Verdict" (1982). He also was nominated for producing (but not directing) the 1968 Best Picture nominee "Rachel, Rachel."

Newman was in Chicago on Oscar night, so director Robert Wise accepted the award in Los Angeles for him. The actor did deliver a thank-you address via satellite, declaring that he hoped his best performances were ahead and not behind him.

A year later, Newman won the 1986 Best Actor Oscar for his performance in "The Color of Money," a sequel to "The Hustler." He also received nominations for "Nobody's Fool" (1984) and "Road to Perdition" (2002).
