Betty White has another accolade to add to her banner year.
After taking home an Emmy last month, Betty will now be honored by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts/Los Angeles (BAFTA/LA) on Thursday, November 4 in Los Angeles.
Betty will receive the Charlie Chaplin Britannia Award for Excellence in Comedy. Oscar winner Jeff Bridges will be recognized with the Stanley Kubrick Britannia Award for Excellence in Film.
"It doesn't get much better than honoring two true Hollywood veterans in their own right," Nigel Lythgoe, Chairman of BAFTA/LA, says of why they chose to honor Betty and Jeff. "Betty White is a comedy icon whose quick wit and everlasting energy is second to none; and Jeff Bridges' remarkable ability to immerse himself into each role he plays epitomizes his multi-faceted career. I am very pleased that BAFTA/LA has selected Ms. White and Mr. Bridges to receive this outstanding honor."
Also being honored at the ceremony are director Christopher Nolan and actor Michael Sheen.
