OS ANGELES: American singer and actor Harry Belafonte and Japanese animated film director Hayao Miyazaki will be honored with Governors Awards, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences said on Thursday.
The academy, which hosts Hollywood's annual Oscars ceremony, bestows the Governors Awards to honor a person's lifetime achievements in film.
Belafonte, 87, is best known as the 'King of Calypso', emerging at the forefront of the Caribbean folk music wave in the United States in the 1950s. He will join a select company of stars who have won the coveted 'EGOT', with Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards under his belt.
Miyazaki, 73, is a renowned animator and co-founder of Studio Ghibli, winning the Oscar for best animated feature film in 2002 for Spirited Away.
