Sacramento, CA -- The Oscars aren't until Feb. 29, but Johnny Depp has already won a "Hackademy Award."

The "Hackademy Awards" are handed out annually by the American Lung Association and honor the films with the best and worst examples of smoking.

Depp gets a "Pink Lung" for never taking a drag in his role as a buccaneer in "Pirates Of The Caribbean," and the anti-smoking advocates were especially impressed because, usually, "pirates are dirty and gross."

Bill Murray didn't do so well. He earns a "Black Lung" for his cigar-puffing character in "Lost In Translation" and Diane Keaton gets a "Hackie" for "Something's Gotta Give," where her character starts off as anti-tobacco only to take up smoking at the end.

Finally, "American Wedding" gets a "Pink Lung" for ignoring cigars during the bachelor party scenes and "Mona Lisa Smile" gets a big frown for "blatantly linking intellectual women with cigarette use."
