The Hollywood Producers Guild is bestowing one of its highest honors on Oscar-winner Sean Penn.
At a ceremonyy On January 22nd the at-times-controversial actor will be presented with the Stanley Kramer Award which is named after the celebrated film director.
Penn has the distinction of being the first individual to receive the coveted prize which has normally been awarded to single out issue-oriented films such as "The Defiant Ones" and the landmark film feature "Guess Who's coming to Dinner" in the past.
Paula Wagner - the Chair of the Producers Guild - underscored that Mr. Penn has been a committed activist (deserving of the nod) who has devoted himself to unselfish causes that have shed light on powerful stories and individuals during the course of his long industrious film career.
Congrats, Mr. Penn!
