Peter O'Toole raised hell

When the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences told Peter O'Toole that he'd be receiving an honorary Oscar for a body of work that included seven best actor nominations and no wins, he surprised officials with his response.
While he would eventually accept the honor, he politely reminded academy members that he was "still in the game" and that he'd rather "win the bugger outright."
He never would. But O'Toole, 81, who died Saturday in a London hospital following a long illness, would earn an eighth nomination and cement his legend as yeoman actor, Oscar bridesmaid and poster boy for the Hollywood hell-raiser.
