The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures announces that filmmaker John Carpenter, actor Colman Domingo, and actress Charlize Theron will be honored at its annual fundraising gala on October 17.
Multiple outlets report that the event is co-chaired by prominent filmmakers and producers Steven Spielberg and Robert Rodriguez, along with Kate Capshaw. Variety adds that the gala is the sixth annual edition and specifies which honors each recipient will receive: Theron is set for the Icon Award, Carpenter for the Luminary Award, and Domingo for the Vantage Award. Deadline similarly identifies Theron’s Icon Award, and frames the gala as part of the museum’s fundraising efforts in the fall.
While the overall roster and date are consistent across sources, coverage differs mainly in the level of detail. Some outlets summarize the honorees and scheduling, while others include award categories for each person and the gala’s edition number.
