On Monday, April 27, 2026, the 51st Chaplin Award Gala will honor George Clooney. One of Hollywood's most influential figures, Clooney is widely admired for his multifaceted career as an actor, director, and producer, as well as for his global humanitarian work and reputation for humility, quick wit, and personal integrity.
Presented each year at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall, the Chaplin Award recognizes an individual's significant contributions to the art of cinema. The Gala evening will begin at Alice Tully Hall with a tribute program honoring Clooney's remarkable work. The program will feature film highlights from Clooney's illustrious career, personal stories from friends and colleagues, and an acceptance speech from Clooney. The evening concludes with a dinner on the Lincoln Center campus for Gala Dinner ticket holders.
The award was named for its first honoree in 1972, Charlie Chaplin, who returned to the U.S. from exile to accept the commendation. Past recipients have included many of the film industry's most notable talents throughout the decades, including Pedro Almodóvar, Viola Davis, Cate Blanchett, Spike Lee, Meryl Streep, Martin Scorsese, Robert Redford, Morgan Freeman, Sidney Poitier, Alfred Hitchcock, Billy Wilder, Bette Davis, Federico Fellini, and Gregory Peck.
