The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) has announced that it will be honouring veteran actors Samuel L Jackson, Elaine May and Liv Ullmann with Honorary Oscars. The honours will be presented at the Academy’s 12th Governors Awards ceremony, to be held on January 15, 2022.
“Sam Jackson is a cultural icon whose dynamic work has resonated across genres, generations and audiences worldwide, while Elaine May’s bold, uncompromising approach to filmmaking, as a writer, director and actor, reverberates as loudly as ever with movie lovers. Liv Ullmann’s bravery and emotional transparency has gifted audiences with deeply affecting screen portrayals, and Danny Glover’s decades-long advocacy for justice and human rights reflects his dedication to recognising our shared humanity on and off the screen,” said Academy president David Rubin.
