Producer and composer Quincy Jones, casting director Juliet Taylor, director Richard Curtis and James Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli will receive Honorary Academy Awards at the Governors Awards on Nov. 17, the Academy’s Board of Governors announced Wednesday.
Jones and Taylor will receive Academy Honorary Awards, while Curtis will receive the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award and Wilson and Broccoli will be given the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award.
The awards were voted on by the Academy’s Board of Governors. Honorary awards were initially presented on the Academy Awards telecast, but since 2009 they have been handed out in a separate ceremony, the Governors Awards.
