*A major moment of recognition is on the horizon for Tyler Perry, who will be honored at the sixth annual Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards for his decades-long influence on film and television, Variety reports.
Founded by media mogul Jason Lee, the Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards recognizes influencers, celebrities and icons who have made a lasting effect on the culture. The award show highlights recipient contributions across the music, film, media, political, social and creative industries to celebrate their accomplishments and contributions within the Black community. Previous Impact Award honorees include Cardi B, Babyface, Chlöe Bailey, Karen Bass, Floyd Mayweather, Jasmine Crockett, Christian Louboutin, Ben Crump, Catherine Brewton, Whoopi Goldberg, Fat Joe, Kelis, Lizzo, Jonathan Majors, Law Roach, and Tupac.
This year, Perry will receive the Innovator Award, a distinction reserved for individuals who have reshaped a segment of the entertainment industry while demonstrating sustained impact and longevity in their work.
The 2026 Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards will take place on Friday, June 5 at The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles. Tiffany Haddish is set to return as host of the ceremony, while Babyface will once again serve as musical director.
The event will support the Hollywood Cares Foundation, a nonprofit created in 2022 by Hollywood Unlocked CEO Jason Lee. The organization focuses on youth development programs aimed at leadership, civic engagement, and personal growth in underserved communities.
Lee previously noted the mission behind the awards ceremony: “It’s about honoring each other. It’s about having the ability to control our narratives and, in some cases, redirect them.”
