Creo que un jornalista puede usar la palabra crowned with en lugar de honored with: Por ejemplo: The actress Meryl Streep has been crowned with many awards in her lifetime.

Te aviso que este uso de crowned en este caso no está muy común pero se entiende.

The word crown also cans use in the crowing of the Miss Universe competition, when a girls won the competition, she will be crowning immediately.
