AMPAS and its Board of Governors will honor Quincy Jones and Juliet Taylor with Honorary Awards, Richard Curtis with the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, and producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli with the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award. The Oscar statuettes will be presented at the Academy’s Governors Awards at the Ray Dolby Ballroom at Ovation Hollywood. This event is produced by Oscar-nominated producer Jennifer Fox.
“The recipients of this year’s Governors Awards have set the bar incredibly high across their remarkable careers, and the Academy’s Board of Governors is thrilled to recognize them with Oscars,” said Academy President Janet Yang. “The selection of Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli is a testament to their success as producers of the fan-favorite Bond series and their contribution to the industry’s theatrical landscape. Richard Curtis is a brilliant comedic storyteller whose tremendous charitable efforts embody the meaning of the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. Quincy Jones’s artistic genius and relentless creativity have made him one of the most influential musical figures of all time. Juliet Taylor has cast iconic and beloved films and paved a new path for the field. Their profound love of cinema and indelible contribution to our art form make these five individuals truly deserving of these honors.”
