Chat show queen Oprah Winfrey and actor James Earl Jones are to receive honorary Oscars, it has been announced.

Winfrey, who was nominated for a best supporting actress Oscar in 1985 for The Colour Purple, will receive the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award for her philanthropic work.

While Jones, along with makeup artist Dick Smith, will receive awards for their outstanding careers.

The prizes will be handed out the Governors Awards in November.
