Michael B Jordan will receive a prestigious award in November for his extraordinary contributions to the cinematic arts. The announcement was made recently by the American Cinematheque, a nonprofit organisation dedicated to celebrating and advancing the art of cinema. The "Sinners" and "Creed III" star, will receive the prestigious American Cinematheque Award in November. Award-winning actor Michael B. Jordan is set to add another feather to his cap. The awards ceremony will take place on November 20 at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. Each year, the American Cinematheque Award is presented to artists who demonstrate extraordinary contributions to the cinematic arts. Previous honorees of award include luminaries such as Eddie Murphy, Denzel Washington, Robin Williams, Mel Gibson and Steven Spielberg among others. Rick Nicita, chair of the American Cinematheque board, expressed admiration for Jordan's significant impact on the film industry. "The career of Michael B. Jordan has been an unparalleled showcase for the combination of superb talent and purposeful vision that has made him a major power in today's movie business," he said. He continued: "He has become a prolific producer with multiple projects across our business, and his philanthropic activities are many and wide-ranging. Most recently, his outstanding performances (yes, two performances) in the worldwide smash 'Sinners' have cemented his place in the upper tier of movie stars, now and in the future." Jordan first made waves with his captivating performance in "Fruitvale Station," after which he solidified his movie star status with iconic roles in "Black Panther" and the "Creed" series.
