LOS ANGELES (AP) — Documentarian Agnes Varda isn't only the oldest person ever nominated for an Academy Award, she's the first woman to receive an honorary Oscar and a competitive nomination in the same season. And while she's quite delighted by the honors, the 89-year-old says she is "not proud." She is so not proud that she mentions it several times during a brief telephone interview from her home in France last month. Varda shares the documentary feature nomination for "Faces Places" with her co-director, JR, and her producer-daughter Rosalie. Agnes Varda received an honorary Academy Award in November recognizing her decades of filmmaking.
