Honorary Oscar for James Earl Jones

The voice of Darth Vader, James Earl Jones, was "gobsmacked" to receive an honorary Oscar on Saturday.

The 80-year-old actor – who is best known as the voice of 'Star Wars' villain Darth Vader - revealed his delight at the accolade, which he chose to receive in London rather than Los Angeles so as not to interrupt his run in the West End production of 'Driving Miss Daisy'.
