NATPE Global, the only one-stop shop sales opportunity for buyers and global streamers across North America, LatAm and Europe, is proud to announce BAFTA, Emmy and Golden Globe nominee David Oyelowo (Lawmen: Bass Reeves, Selma, Nightingale) will receive The Hollywood Reporter's esteemed "Trailblazer Award" for his contributions to storytelling as an actor, producer, director and writer in both television and film, during the program hosted January 16 to 18, 2024 at the InterContinental Miami.
The award, whose honorees recently have included Eva Longoria, Cris Abrego, Niecy Nash and America Ferrera, is given to artists and industry leaders whose work consistently pushes the boundaries of artistry, culture and how Hollywood conducts business, including but not limited to illuminating stories and characters that have been traditionally marginalized in Hollywood and the global entertainment marketplace.
Recipients of the "Trailblazer Award" also have used their platforms and influence to create opportunities for emerging artists and to support their peers in meaningful, change-effecting ways - all in order to create a more equitable share of opportunities for artists in Hollywood.
Following the award presentation, Oyelowo will sit down with The Hollywood Reporter Contributing Editor Stacey Wilson Hunt for a wide-ranging interview about his career, including his recent Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award-nominated turn as the lead in Paramount+’s Lawmen: Bass Reeves, on which he also served as an executive producer alongside Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan.
Most recently, Oyelowo, along with his wife and producing partner Jessica Oyelowo, signed a multi-year first-look deal with Apple TV+ via their Yoruba Saxon banner under which they will develop and produce both series and feature film projects. Oyelowo is also the co-founder of MANSA, the free streaming platform for curated global Black cultural content.
Register today and join us in Miami to celebrate this prestigious award.
