Actress Julia Roberts and husband Danny Moder will be honoured by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network for their work in 'The Normal Heart'.
Roberts, 46, starred in the show while Moder, 45, was the director of photography for the HBO film, which depicts the early years of the AIDS epidemic, reported People magazine.
The husband and wife will receive the GLSEN Humanitarian Award for their contributions on- and off-screen, from raising awareness about HIV in 'The Normal Heart' to helping global charities like UNICEF, Heal the Bay and Stand Up to Cancer, the group announced Tuesday.
"We are proud to recognize Danny Moder & Julia Roberts, whose inspiring work on HBO's The Normal Heart has brought renewed attention to an important movement - and an on-going crisis - in LGBT and American history," GLSEN said in a statement.
The awards will be held on October 17 in Los Angeles.
