Samuel L. Jackson to Be Honored at the Museum of Modern Art 2024 Film Benefit

Samuel L. Jackson will be honored by the Museum of Modern Art at their 2024 Film Benefit.

“Samuel L. Jackson has become a landmark cultural figure thanks to his early film work with Spike Lee, which transfixed both audiences and critics, and his biblically powerful turn as the wise and merciless assassin Jules in ‘Pulp Fiction’ (1994),” Rajendra Roy, MoMA’s Celeste Bartos Chief Curator of Film, said. Previous MoMA Film Benefit honorees include Tarantino, Guillermo del Toro, Penélope Cruz, George Clooney, Laura Dern, Martin Scorsese, Julianne Moore, Tom Hanks, Cate Blanchett, Alfonso Cuarón, Tilda Swinton, Pedro Almodóvar, Kathryn Bigelow, Tim Burton, and Baz Luhrmann. “The Piano Lesson” will also be honored at the 2024 Gotham Awards, with Jackson and his co-stars John David Washington, Ray Fisher, Danielle Deadwyler, Michael Potts, Corey Hawkins, and Erykah Badu receiving the Ensemble Tribute.
