Tyler Perry is set to receive the highest honor from The Paley Center for Media. Announced on Wednesday (July 17), the filmmaker will receive The Paley Honors Award for his landmark achievements in media. The ceremony is scheduled for later this year at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif.
“Throughout my career, I have strived to bring people together and to give a voice to those often underrepresented in media,” expressed the 54-year-old. “Media has served as a vital platform for this mission, and I’m honored to receive this award from The Paley Center for Media, an organization that has dedicated itself to spotlighting the power and importance of media.”
The Paley Center recognizes the mogul as a visionary business leader and philanthropist, describing his original storytelling used to break barriers, dispel negative stereotypes, educate audiences, and bring people together.
Tyler Perry attends the 2022 Baby2Baby Gala presented by Paul Mitchell at Pacific Design Center on November 12, 2022 in West Hollywood, California.
“Through his acclaimed and prolific body of work, Tyler Perry has solidified his place as one of media’s greatest and most impactful figures,” added Maureen J. Reidy, the President & CEO of The Paley Center for Media. “With each new project, he continues to move our industry, and our culture, forward, and it is our great privilege to present Tyler with our highest honor, The Paley Honors Award, on December 4.”
To recognize Perry, The Paley Center collected the Madea franchise creator’s closest friends, colleagues, and contemporaries as part of its Paley Honors Tribute Host Committee. The illustrious list includes Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Ariel Emanuel, Jon Feltheimer, Whoopi Goldberg, Taraji P. Henson, Matt Johnson, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Gayle King, Debra L. Lee, Mellody Hobson and George Lucas, Scott Mills, The Honorable Nicole Avant and Ted Sarandos, and Kerry Washington.
