Sofia Coppola and Michael B. Jordan will also be celebrated at the star-studded event.
The third annual Academy Museum Gala is set to be a star-studded event.
The fundraising event, celebrating the second anniversary of the Academy Museum opening for the public, is set to honor to most-nominated actor in Academy history, Meryl Streep, with the Icon Award, given to "an artist whose career has had a significant global cultural impact."
At the Oct. 14 event, Oprah Winfrey will be presented with the Pillar Award, "which acknowledges exemplary leadership and support for the Academy Museum."
Michael B. Jordan will also be honored at the event with the Vantage Award, designed to honor "an emerging artist or scholar who is helping to contextualize and challenge dominant narratives around cinema."
Finally, acclaimed director Sofia Coppola will received the Visionary Award, meant to celebrate "an artist or scholar whose innovations have advanced the art of cinema."
"We are excited to gather again at our third annual Academy Museum Gala to celebrate the power, global impact, and indelible importance of cinema. I am truly honored to recognize four artists, Meryl Streep, Michael B. Jordan, Oprah Winfrey and Sofia Coppola, whose creativity and passion have inspired and shaped our culture in such powerful ways," said Jacqueline Stewart, Director and President of the Academy Museum, in a statement. "We are truly grateful to our co-chairs Ava DuVernay, Dr. Eric Esrailian, Halle Berry and Ryan Murphy, for hosting this special evening and to Rolex for their continued support of the Museum and cinema worldwide."
