About the Honorees:

Kevin Bacon is one of the American cinema’s foremost actors. His talent for balancing starring roles with powerful supporting parts in film, television, and on stage has allowed him to build a varied and critically acclaimed body of work. Bacon’s film credits include Footloose, Tremors, A Few Good Men, The River Wild, Mystic River, Apollo 13, The Woodsman, Crazy Stupid Love, Black Mass, Patriots Day, Space Oddity, and, most recently, Leave the World Behind, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, and MaXXXine. Bacon starred in the HBO film Taking Chance, for which he won Golden Globe and SAG Awards. Bacon recently co-directed with Kyra Sedgwick and starred in the horror-comedy Family Movie. Bacon also founded SixDegrees.org, an organization that encourages people to connect and raise money for local and grassroots charities in the United States.

Kyra Sedgwick is an Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning actress, producer, and director whose film and television work has captured and defined the zeitgeist. Sedgwick's film credits include Born on the Fourth of July, Mr. and Mrs. Bridge, Singles, Heart and Souls, Murder in the First, Something to Talk About, Phenomenon, What's Cooking, The Woodsman, and The Edge of Seventeen. She won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama for The Closer. Sedgwick's feature film Family Movie, a horror-comedy co-directed with Kevin Bacon and starring their children Travis and Sosie Bacon, had its world premiere at the 2026 SXSW Film Festival.

Adam Aron is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AMC Entertainment and has been its CEO since 2016.
