Those honored from the film industry are Francis Ford Coppola, Macaulay Culkin, Willem Dafoe, Salma Hayek, James Hong, Helen Hunt, Michael B. Jordan, Regina King, Ray Liotta, Ewan McGregor, Adam McKay, Jason Momoa and Tessa Thompson.

The television category includes Byron Allen, Greg Berlanti, Ricky Gervais, Peter Krause, Bob Odenkirk, Holly Robinson Peete, Norman Reedus, Tracee Ellis Ross, Jean Smart, Ming-Na Wen and Kenan Thompson.

The Black Eyed Peas, George E. Clinton Jr., Ashanti, DJ Khaled, Avril Lavigne, Los Huracanes Del Norte and Martha Reeves will be honored for their accomplishments in recording and the music industry.

In the live theater category, Patti LuPone, Marilyn McCoo & Billy Davis, Jr. and Angelica Vale will receive recognition.

Both radio and sports entertainment only have one nominee each, Richard Blade and Michael Strahan respectively.

Hong, one of the film industry honorees, has 672 acting credits and was nominated by fellow actor Daniel Dae Kim. Kim started a GoFundMe campaign in order to raise money for Hong’s nomination process. Kim explained his support for Hong by saying, “It’s time James Hong was honored in the way he deserves, and it’s time to show him how much he – and all the actors of color of earlier generations – have done to pave the way for us today.”
