Producers Guild Honoring Activist Sean Penn

The Producers Guild of America will be presenting Oscar winner Sean Penn with the Stanley Kramer Award at the 22nd annual ceremony on January 22nd at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. This will be the first time they honor an individual with The Stanley Kramer Award which was established to honor an achievement or contribution that “illuminates provocative social issues in an accessible and elevating fashion.” Sean Penn’s humanitarian work in New Orleans for Hurricane Katrina and most recently in Haiti for the debilitating earthquake has made him a committed activist who has used his talents to bring attention to these critical matters.
