Jackie Chan won an honorary Oscar that evening after his decades-long career saw him in over 200 films. During his acceptance speech, Jackie talked about admiring Sylvester‘s Oscar statue during a visit in the past.
He said, “I touched it, kissed it, smelled it. I believe it still has my fingerprints on it…Then I talked to myself, ‘I really want one.’ Finally, [Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs] called and I said, ‘Are you sure?’ I want to thank all my fans around the world because you’re the reason I continue to make movies, jumping through windows, kicking and punching [and] breaking my bones. Thank you so much!”
