On the heels of directing and producing an untitled comedy which he co-wrote for IM Global, Reginald Hudlin will also produce the sixth annual Governors Awards, to be held Saturday Nov. 8 at the Ray Dolby Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland Center.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences had previously announced that Harry Belafonte will receive the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award; and Jean-Claude Carrière, Hayao Miyazaki and Maureen O’Hara will receive Honorary Awards.
“With Reggie’s experience, unique vision and immense creativity, the evening celebrating those who have given so much to our industry is certain to be a memorable one,” said AMPAS president Cheryl Boone Isaacs in a statement.
Hudlin added, “I’m honored to be working with the Academy again. The collective impact of this year’s Governors Awards recipients on the evolution of cinema is immeasurable. I’m a fan of all four of these legends, so producing a celebration of Ms. O’Hara’s performances, Mr. Carrière’s storytelling, Mr. Belafonte’s dedication and Mr. Miyazaki’s magic is a pleasure.”
A writer, director, producer and executive, Hudlin received a best picture Oscar nomination as a producer of “Django Unchained.” His feature directing credits include “The Great White Hype,” “Boomerang,” and “House Party,” which he also wrote. Hudlin was also the President of Entertainment for BET from 2005-2008, and at the same time was the writer of the Marvel Comics series Black Panther from 2005 to 2008
