BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Oct. 31 (UPI) -- The AMC cable network is set to honor George Clooney's career with a tribute gala at which the U.S. actor will receive an American Cinematheque Award.
Scheduled to air on AMC Dec. 13, "George Clooney: An American Cinematheque Tribute" will recognize the 45-year-old Academy Award winner by presenting him with the organization's annual award, said an AMC news release.
Presenting the award to Clooney, who won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for "Syriana," will be actress Julia Roberts, with whom Clooney has worked on the set of "Ocean's Eleven" and "Ocean's Twelve."
The tribute, which was filmed Oct. 13 in California, also features appearances from former Clooney co-stars such as "ER's" Noah Wyle, Don Cheadle, Salma Hayek and John Cusack.
The cable network plans on following up the hourlong special with the network premiere of "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind," the film that marked Clooney's directorial debut in 2002.
