"Hitler Has Only Got One Ball", sometimes known as "The River Kwai March", is a World War II British song whose lyrics, sung to the tune of the popular World War I-era "Colonel Bogey March", mocks the masculinity of Nazi leaders by alleging they had missing, deformed, or undersized testicles. Multiple variant lyrics exist, but the most common version references rumors that Adolf Hitler had monorchism, and accuses Hermann Göring and Heinrich Himmler of microorchidism and Joseph Goebbels of anorchia . An alternate version popular in Britain suggests Hitler's missing testicle is displayed as a war trophy in Royal Albert Hall.

"The Honorary Award is not called a lifetime achievement award by the Academy, but it is often given for a life's work in filmmaking – to Polish director Andrzej Wajda in 1999, for example, and to Elia Kazan the previous year [1998].... The Honorary Award also may be given for outstanding service to the Academy. The last time this happened, however, was in 1979, when an Oscar statuette was presented to Academy Governor Hal Elias, who had served more than a quarter century on the Board of Governors.
