The award, to be presented at the annual brunch on January 3, will recognise his performance in Jordan Peele's social satire, reported Variety.
Kaluuya has already received Golden Globes, SAG Awards, and Critics' Choice nominations this awards season.
"If there's one performance in 2017 that embodied the general political angst of post-Trump America and the specific anger and anxiety of Americans of colour, it's Daniel Kaluuya's deft, rich, layered portrayal of Chris Washington in Jordan Peele's groundbreaking film 'Get Out'.
Patty Jenkins and Aaron Sorkin will also be honoured at the film festival, with Jenkins receiving the creative impact in directing award for "Wonder Woman" and Sorkin getting the creative impact in screenwriting award for "Molly's Game.
