Film producers Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall will be honoured at the 19th annual Oscar Wilde Awards which will be held on 27 February in Los Angeles.
The Oscar Wilde Awards are organised by the US-Ireland Alliance to celebrate the contribution Ireland makes to film, television and music.
Previously announced honorees are actors John C. Reilly, who will be presented with his award by Will Ferrell, and Éanna Hardwicke.
US-Ireland Alliance founder Trina Vargo said: "The Irish are known as being great storytellers, and you can’t find two greater storytellers, in the history of filmmaking, than Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall.
"Together, and individually, they have won and been nominated for numerous awards. Kennedy is the recipient of the Producers Guild of America Milestone Award and is an eight-time Academy Award nominee.
"Frank is a five-time Academy Award nominee and together they received the Academy’s prestigious 2018 Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award, awarded to 'creative producers, whose bodies of work reflect a consistently high quality of motion picture production'."
The 97th Academy Awards, hosted by Conan O'Brien, will take place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday 2 March.
