Jackson, Elaine May and Liv Ullmann will receive honorary Oscars this year, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Thursday.
“We are thrilled to present this year’s Governors Awards to four honorees who have had a profound impact on both film and society,” Academy president David Rubin said in a statement.
Their notable collaboration went on to include “The Passion of Anna,” “Cries and Whispers” and “Autumn Sonata.” Ullmann received Oscar nominations for Best Actress for “The Emigrants” and “Face to Face.” She made her directorial debut in 1992 with “Sofie” and later directed “Faithless,” from a script by Bergman.
Glover is being recognized for his lifelong efforts advocating for economic justice as well as access to health care and education in the United States and Africa.
