The Academy’s 7th annual Governors Awards will bestow an Honorary Award to Gena Rowlands and Spike Lee and the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award to Debbie Reynolds.
Making sure that the presentation of those honors are given their ceremonial due on Saturday, November 14, will be Julie Lynn and Bonnie Curtis, who will produce the 2015 Governors Awards.
“Julie and Bonnie are incredibly talented producers — the perfect team to help us celebrate the accomplishments of our honorees,” said Academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs.
“We are honored and thrilled by this opportunity, as we have such deep respect for The Academy,” Lynn and Curtis added. “With masterful artists like Ms. Reynolds, Ms. Rowlands and Mr. Lee to celebrate, the evening might just produce itself!”
