LOS ANGELES, Oct. 14 (UPI) -- The American Film Institute Los Angeles International Film Festival Friday announced it will honor Johnny Depp with a special tribute.
The Tribute to Johnny Depp will be Nov. 11 at the ArcLight Hollywood in Los Angeles, Zap2it.com reported.
"Our challenge each year in choosing a (tribute recipient) is to find someone who is a highly accomplished artist about whom we crave to know more," AFI Fest Director Christian Gaines said. "Johnny Depp is such an artist. He has made interesting, risky choices in his career and has evolved into one of the most absorbing actors of our time."
After the ceremony, Depp's latest film, "The Libertine," will be screened.
Depp received Oscar nominations two years in a row for "Finding Neverland" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl."
