George Clooney and Ellen Burstyn's honorary Golden Lions were already in the week's file when Saturday's competition table landed. [1] Reuters listed them beside Woman Unknown's Lion. [1] This paper printed Burstyn's career Lion on the 7th and the honoraries as prior in Saturday's table. Monday the 14th has no second honorary night.

An honorary Lion is a career prize, not the competition Lion. NAZA's special and Arcel's actress prize remain Saturday's furniture. Guadagnino's Glory, awarded Tuesday, is a sponsor honor on yet another page.

Festival clip accounts repackage prior ovations as fresh ceremonies because an empty Lido photographs the same at any hour. Reuters keeps the dates. So does this paper: Burstyn the 7th, Clooney with Saturday's table, nothing new on the 14th. Burstyn, at 93, received hers in the Sala Grande to a standing ovation the trades covered as the week's emotional peak. Clooney's came with the same ceremony block. Career prizes honor bodies of work; they do not compete, and they do not repeat.

Career prizes do not repeat; Monday has no third honorary. Burstyn at 93 remains the week's emotional peak. Clooney shared the same ceremony block.

Ellen Burstyn collected her career Lion on the 7th, at 93, in the Sala Grande. Clooney's honorary sat with Saturday's table, beside Woman Unknown. Empty palazzo photographs recycle well; dated prize tables do not. Dates do not loop: the 7th, Saturday's table, and no third night.
Monday stages no third honorary night. Clooney shared the same ceremony block. Empty palazzo photographs recycle well.
