Other honorees include independent filmmaker Henry Jaglom, who will receive the Independent Career Achievement award; actor Cam Gigandet, with the Rising Male Star of the Year Award; Happy Days duo Don Most and Anson Williams, with the Legendary Television Duo Award; and actor Ed Begley Jr., the Humanitarian Award.
