They have all impacted society in one way or another, so it comes as no surprise that Oprah Winfrey, James Earl Jones and Dick Smith will be receiving Oscars this year.

After Tuesday’s (August 2) voting, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the three will be honored with Oscar statuettes at the Governors Awards in November.

After taking a much-deserved break when “The Oprah Winfrey Show” officially ended, Oprah was spotted on the set of “On the Case With Paula Zahn” on Thursday (June 16).

The famous TV host was being interviewed by Paula Zahn during an event called “A Conversation with Oprah.”

It was hard to say goodbye to the “ Oprah Winfrey” show yesterday, and it seems that a record number of viewers felt the same way.

According to a report, the ratings for the final episode were the highest they’ve been in 17 years, since 1994’s “People Shed Their Disguises” show.
