Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry will be honored at next month's annual Hollywood Reporter Women in Entertainment event.

Berry will receive The Sherry Lansing Leadership Award at the industry publication's 18th annual Power 100: Women in Entertainment breakfast.

Berry follows in the footsteps of Meryl Streep and Jodie Foster, Glenn Close, news anchor Barbara Walters and movie mogul Lansing herself with the honor, which recognizes groundbreaking contributions to the entertainment industry.

She will take the stage after Hilary Swank, who has signed on to give the keynote address for the December 4 event, to be held at the Beverly Hills Hotel in California.
