LOS ANGELES—Jerry Lewis accepted a humanitarian award during Sunday night's Oscars ceremony in a presentation that honored both his philanthropy and his comedic acting.
Jerry Lewis profusely thanked the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, which presented him its Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. The award was presented to the 82-year-old actor by Eddie Murphy, who starred in a remake of one of Jerry Lewis' signature roles, "The Nutty Professor."
Jerry Lewis is perhaps now best-known for his annual telethon for the Muscular Dystrophy Association as an advocate of "Jerry's Kids."
