At the 62nd ICG Publicists Awards in February, the publicity teams behind Universal’s Wicked and Disney+’s Agatha All Along took respective top film and TV prizes.
Last week, the ICG Publicists said that Jimmy Kimmel will receive its President’s Award during the 2026 ceremony. That’s a rare honor presented only on occasion of “extraordinary circumstances.” The longtime ABC late-night host, who just signed a one-year contract extension on Monday, will be its first recipient since 2017 and just the fifth this century.
More honorary awards recipients are still to be announced.
