Actors Samuel L Jackson and Danny Glover are among four people who will receive honorary Oscars next year for their contributions to filmmaking and the world, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced on Thursday.
The pair are among the next recipients of the academy's Governors Awards, which will be handed out in a ceremony in January. Other honourees are writer-director Elaine May and Norwegian actress Liv Ullmann.
The recipients "have had a profound impact on both film and society," Academy President David Rubin said in a statement.
