Jackson, actress Liv Ullmann, and writer-director Elaine May, while actor Danny Glover will be presented with the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award.
The Oscar statuettes will be presented at the 12th Governors Awards next January in Los Angeles.

Thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators protested in the Swedish port city Thursday against Israel's participation in the pan-continental pop competition. Protesters waving green, white and red Palestinian flags packed the historic Stortorget square near Malmo's 16th-century town hall before a planned march through the city for a rally in a park several miles from the Eurovision venue.

According to Deadline, the venture will mark Kelce's acting debut.
