Perry, MPTF to
get humanitarian
award at Oscars
BY LINDSEY BAHR
Associated Press
Filmmaker Tyler Perry and the Motion Picture
and Television Fund are being honored with the Jean
Hersholt Humanitarian Award, the
Academy of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences said Thursday.
The group that puts on the Oscars
decided to give the award to two recipi
ents this year in recognition of the
“widespread generosity” that they’ve
witnessed amid the pandemic. It’s
also the first time an organization has
received the award.
Both Perry and the MPTF have
strived to help people in the entertainment industry
impacted by the health crisis. Perry helped create a safe
way for many to return to work at his Tyler Perry Studios
while the MPTF has provided social services to nearly
9,000 members.
“Tyler’s cultural influence extends far beyond his work
as a filmmaker,” said academy president David Rubin
in a statement. “He has quietly and steadily focused on
humanitarian and social justice causes from the begin
ning of his career, caring for people who are most often
ignored.”
Rubin added that, “the work of the MPTF is more
vital than ever, and the organization has gone above and
beyond to help our community.”
There have been 39 Jean Hersholt Humanitarian
Awards given since 1957, with recipients including Bob
Hope, Oprah Winfrey and, most recently, Geena Davis.
Perry and the MPTF will receive their Oscar statuettes
at the 93rd Academy Awards on April 25.
For over 10 years, the award has been presented at the
untelevised Governors Awards, but this year because of
the pandemic it is shifting back to the main ceremony.
Hanks to head special show to
celebrate Biden’s inauguration
NEW YORK — Tom Hanks will host a 90-minute prime
time TV special celebrating the inauguration of Joe Biden
as president of the United States, with performances by
Justin Timberlake, Jon Bon Jovi, Demi Lovato and Ant
Clemons.
“I was left speechless when I was asked to perform!”
Lovato wrote on Instagram. Clemons was also effusive:
“To say that this is a dream come true, would be an
understatement!”
Timberlake said he and Clemons would perform their
new song “Better Days,” adding: “This song was our way
of doing what little we could to encourage everyone to stay
hopeful.”
The special will be broadcast live on ABC, CBS, CNN,
NBC and MSNBC beginning at 8:30 p.m. ET on Jan. 20. It
will also be streamed live on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter,
Twitch, Amazon Prime Video, Microsoft Bing, NewsNOW,
DirectTV and U-verse.

When a public figure transcends the realities of their
life to become a symbol, it can be hard to remember
that they were human. This becomes one of the moti
vating theses of Sam Pollard’s film, “MLK/FBI. ” Using
newly declassified documents and testimony from
witnesses and historians, Pollard’s film examines the
ways in which the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
under the direction of J. Edgar Hoover, recklessly sur
veyed Martin Luther King, Jr. in hopes of discrediting
a moral leader whose ideas about civil rights posed a
threat to a status quo that kept white men at the top.
Documentarian Pollard has crafted a layered film,
dense with information and revelation not only about
King, but about a campaign lobbied by the FBI to
discredit him, using an overreach of their powers to
surveil the civil rights leader. Pollard uses new FBI
evidence, as well as the book “The FBI and Martin
Luther King, Jr.: From ‘Solo’ to Memphis” by David
Garrow, as the basis for the film’s arguments, which
are woven together from archival footage, documents
and Hollywood films, with audio from historians, schol
ars and close confidants of King’s.
This approach to filmmaking, utilizing archival foot
age and snippets of pop cultural ephemera, calls to
mind Raoul Peck’s documentary about James Baldwin,
“I Am Not Your Negro.” But “MLK/FBI” is more than
a cinematic essay. It’s an argument for the humanity of
our revolutionaries, flaws and all, a humanity that has
been either systematically denied, or weaponized.
Pollard’s interview subjects, including scholars Gar
row, Donna Murch, Beverly Gage, former FBI agent
Charles Knox and FBI director James Comey, as well
as King friends and colleagues Andrew Young and
Clarence Jones, discuss the ways in which the FBI per
secuted King, not only surveilling him, wiretapping the
homes of close allies and bugging hotel rooms, but infil
trating the Southern Christian Leadership Conference,
using paid informants to report on his movements.
Comey describes the surveillance of Black civil
rights activists as the darkest part of the bureau’s his
tory, and it is. But what astonishes about Pollard’s film
is just how current it feels, a reminder that the propa
ganda playbook stays the same. While Hoover, Sullivan
and Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. John
son wrung their hands and dropped bombs over Com
munism, the dreaded C-word was lobbed at King and
his cohort in a gross misinformation campaign.
