One of the most acclaimed producers of Hollywood, Jerry Bruckheimer, will receive a special tribute at the Cinematheque’s annual gala on December 12 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. He will be honoured with the 27th American Cinematheque Award at the event.

Some of Bruckheimer’s colleagues will also give in-person tributes to him at the awards ceremony. American Cinematheque chairman Rick Nicita said, “The American Cinematheque is extremely pleased to honor Jerry Bruckheimer as the 27th recipient of the American Cinematheque award at our celebration this year.”

Nicita added, “Jerry’s monumental accomplishments as producer of many of the most popular and iconic movies of all time, including 19 films that have grossed more than $100 million domestically, made him an obvious choice as the American Cinematheque’s first producer honoree. His work ethic is matched only by his determination to stay behind the scenes so the American Cinematheque is particularly thrilled to have Jerry accept the respect and congratulations that he deserves from the motion picture industry.” Bruckheimer’s name was a unanimous choice on the part of theCinematheque Board of Directors. The event will be attended by 1000 entertainment industry people who also help in raising funds forthe non-profit film exhibition organization’s programs throughout the year.
