Actress Julia Roberts will be honoured at the 22nd American Cinematheque award.

The American Cinematheque Award annually honours 'an extraordinary artist in the entertainment industry who is fully engaged in his or her work and is committed to making a significant contribution to the art of the motion pictures'.

The Oscar winning actress will be presented the award at the Beverly Hilton's International Ballroom on October 12, Variety magazine reports.

The award ceremony will be broadcasted exclusively on AMC in December.

The 39-year-old actress presented the award to actor George Clooney last year.

Since its inception in 1986, the non-profit committee has given awards to several actors, directors and writers including actor Al Pacino, actress Nicole Kidman, Nicolas Cage, Tom Cruise and others.
