Tyler Perry is being honored with a prestigious award for his lengthy work in humanitarian and social justice causes.
The movie mogul will be awarded with the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at the 93rd annual Academy Awards on Sunday, April 25. “There has been such widespread generosity in our industry that limiting the Hersholt Humanitarian Award to one recipient, this year in particular, was impossible. So, we are breaking with tradition and giving two awards to honor that spirit,” said Academy President David Rubin. “Tyler’s cultural influence extends far beyond his work as a filmmaker. He has quietly and steadily focused on humanitarian and social justice causes from the beginning of his career, caring for people who are most often ignored.”
