Winfrey, who was nominated for an Academy Award following her debut film performance in 'The Color Purple' will receive The Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. This Oscar statuette will be given to the mogul for her dedication to the support of educational initiatives as well as "raising awareness of issues that affect women and children, both in the United States and around the globe."
