Foxx will be honored with the award on the opening day of the festival, which will run from January 2-13.
“In ‘Just Mercy’, Jamie Foxx gives a moving and truly remarkable performance as Walter McMillian, a man sentenced to death for murder, for which he was wrongly convicted,” festival chairman Harold Matzner said in a statement.
“This is an inspiring drama that brings an important story about how our justice system can fail to the big screen. It is a story that audiences should see. It is our honor to present the Spotlight Award, Actor to Jamie Foxx,” he added.
