Keke Palmer, Giancarlo Esposito, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Aaron Pierre and Marla Gibbs will receive special awards at the ABFF Honors ceremony.
In addition to saluting the evening’s special honorees — Keke Palmer, Giancarlo Esposito, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Aaron Pierre and Marla Gibbs — the ceremony, presented by Nice Crowd, will spotlight trailblazers whose contributions have significantly influenced the arts, activism, education, business and social landscape of the state of California and beyond. Emmy nominee Esposito is best known for his iconic role as Gustavo “Gus” Fring in “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul.” Next year, he adds to his stellar resume (also including “The Usual Suspects,” “Do the Right Thing,” “The Mandalorian” and “The Boys”) with a trio of new projects: “Captain America: Brave New World,” the Russo Brothers’ “The Electric State” and Shonda Rhimes’ “The Residence.” Her career has spanned film, television, and music, with notable roles in “The Visit,” “Lily in Winter,” “101 Dalmations,” “ER,” “Cold Case,” “King of Queens” and her own album, “It’s Never Too Late.” A passionate advocate for the arts, Gibbs revived the legendary Los Angeles jazz supper club, dubbed Marla’s Memory Lane and co-founded Crossroads Theater and Acting School.
