LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Actor Donald Sutherland, writer-director Charles Burnett, cinematographer Owen Roizman and Belgian director Agnes Varda are getting honorary Oscars this year.
The film academy announced the honorees Wednesday. They will receive Oscar statuettes at the ninth annual Governors Awards ceremony in November.
Burnett is an independent filmmaker whose work has been celebrated for its portrayals of the African-American experience.
Roizman has received five Academy Award nominations for his work on such films as "The Exorcist" and "Network," and served as a governor of the academy's cinematography branch for more than 10 years.
The 89-year-old Varda wrote and directed her first feature film in 1956 and released her latest film this year.
Sutherland has appeared in more than 140 films, including the "Hunger Games" series.
