Oldie of The Year Awards
The Oldie of the Year Awards (TOOTY) is the magazine's annual awards ceremony, hosted by Terry Wogan. The awards celebrate lifetime achievement, as well as "oldie" achievements and/or notoriety over the previous year, the whole ceremony being very much tongue-in-cheek. Past winners include Ian Paisley, David Hockney, Eileen Atkins, Stanley Baxter and Moira Stuart. At the magazine's 2011 awards, Prince Philip was named Consort of the Year. Oldie of the Year was Barry Humphries.
The Oldie monthly Literary Lunches are held in London (at Simpson's-in-the-Strand). Guests over the years have included Michael Palin, Clive James, Maureen Lipman, Colin Dexter and P. D. James.
