Tippi Hedren, the star of Alfred Hitchcock&#8217;s The Birds and Marnie,  will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at The Humane Society of the United States&#8216; 2010 Genesis Awards. Hedren, who will be getting her trophy from the hands of daughter Melanie Griffith, will be honored for dedicating more than 40 years to the protection of animals, especially big felines. The Genesis Awards ceremony will take place  on Saturday, March 20, at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills.
In 1983, Hedren set up the Roar Foundation&#8217;s Shambala Preserve, an 80-acre wildlife refuge in Acton, California, northeast of Los Angeles. Shambala is currently the home of 68 captive-born big cats, cast-offs from private owners, zoos [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Unfortunately, the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has decided to come up with a new annual event  to  present its special  awards – the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award,  the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award and the Honorary Award. 
I say &#34;unfortunately&#34; because in my view  the presence of veterans like, say, Deborah Kerr or Ennio Morricone,  are  the highlights of the  Oscar ceremony. But then again, perhaps they&#8217;ll now find some extra time to add more Hugh Jackman musical numbers for those who are into that sort of stuff.
From now on, special honorees  will be selected and announced in September (instead of December);  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nikki Finke on the announcement that Jerry Lewis will be given the 2009 Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at Deadline Hollywood:
&#34;I also have learned that protests are coming into the Academy about  its Board of Governors&#8217; choice of Jerry Lewis to receive the Jean  Hersholt Humanitarian Award. The controversy is over his recent  repeated and public anti-gay slurs. The Hollywood gay community, joined  by much of the showbiz straight community, is already on edge because  of Proposition 8 passed last month outlawing same-sex unions in  California. So the vote by the AMPAS board selecting Lewis seems like  &#8217;salt poured into an open wound&#8217;, according to one of my  sources. Already several prominent entertainment biz gays have  questioned [...]]]></description>

Sherry Lansing, the former Paramount chairman and an  advocate for cancer research, has been voted the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award by the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. 
 Lansing will receive the award at the 2007 Academy Awards ceremony on February 25, 2007.
The Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award is named after Danish-born actor Jean Hersholt, who played leads and top supporting roles in Hollywood movies from the 1920s to the 1940s, among them Erich von Stroheim&#8217;s Greed, D. W. Griffith&#8217;s The Battle of the Sexes, Edmund Goulding&#8217;s Academy Award winner Grand Hotel, and George Cukor&#8217;s Dinner at 8.
