Deets: Join us for the 47th annual AFI Life Achievement Award in celebration of Denzel Washington, an iconic leading man whose career spans five decades — with larger-than-life performances as heroic everymen, complex antiheroes and extraordinary real-life characters. Equally formidable as director and producer, he is one of the most vital artists working today.

Proceeds from the event not only further the mandate to honor artists and their work, they also support AFI's preservation and education initiatives.

Who You May Spot: Denzel Washington and many more to be announced.

Hint For The Average Socialite:  Tickets can be purchased at AFI.com. All table levels include a cocktail reception, elegant dinner and star-studded Gala Tribute — all in the spectacular Dolby Theatre. Table purchasers also receive a page in the commemorative tribute book distributed at the event.

The show will air live on TNT and will be re-aired on TCM.
