The Rock is getting the Entertainment Icon Award at the American Black Film Festival honors ceremony coming up in Beverly Hills. The event happens at the SLS hotel, and Nice Crowd is running the whole thing as a private dinner without cameras for festival partners and the people getting trophies.
Jennifer Hudson scored the Renaissance Award for her talk show work, while Salli Richardson-Whitfield landed the Evolution Award for directing and producing stuff. Damson Idris grabbed the Horizon Award, and the Sinners movie team, led by Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan, is getting a special shoutout. KevOnStage is hosting the night.
Festival founders Jeff and Nicole Friday said the wrestler-turned-actor represents everything about grinding your way to the top across different entertainment lanes, from sports to movies to TV.
