“These people who are here tonight have been with me through a lot of stuff,” said the African-American actress.

“She is the most fearless actor I’ve ever worked with, and probably the most fearless human being I’ve ever met,” said Jason Reitman, who helmed Theron’s Young Adult and Tully.

The award, given to celebrities at mid-level of career is a testament to the individual’s success and potential. Earlier, Tom Cruise, Al Pacino, and Stephen Spielberg have been given the award.

Charlize, who received the award for her promising career will soon be gracing the screens as former TV anchor Megyn Kelly in Bombshell.
