Angelina Jolie Set To Receive Humanitarian Oscar Award

Angelina Jolie will soon get to add to her trophy collection as it's been announced that the actress will be presented with the honorary Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award.

The Salt star, along with Angela Lansbury, Steve Martin, and costume designer Piero Tosi, have all been chosen by the Board of Governors to receive the prestigious award during the Academy's 5th annual Governors Awards on Nov. 16.

"The Governors Awards pay tribute to individuals who've made indelible contributions in their respective fields," Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs said. "We couldn't be more excited for this year's honorees and look forward to bringing their peers and colleagues together to celebrate their extraordinary achievements."

Jolie, who won a best supporting actress award for 1999 film Girl, Interrupted, has slowly put her acting career aside to pursue her humanitarian efforts and family endeavors.

Congratulations on the achievement!
