Executive producers Nichols and Brokaw will be awarded the honor — as presented by "Angels in America" co-star James Cromwell — at the 15th annual PGA Awards on Jan. 17.

The Visionary Award recognizes "television or film producers whose work demonstrates a unique or uplifting quality."

PGA Awards co-chairs Lawrence Gordon and Debra Hill stated "It's a tribute to the vision of Mike Nichols and Cary Brokaw that they chose to ignore the doubters who said that Tony Kushner's Angels in America was 'unfilmable' and instead marshaled a peerless cast and crew in the service of creating a truly unique and uplifting television event" quoted The Hollywood Reporter.

Nichols — who will also receive the Directors Guild of America Lifetime Achievement Award on Feb. 7 — directed the HBO Film "Angels in America," starring Al Pacino, Meryl Streep and Emma Thompson. The cast also featured stage stars Mary-Louise Parker, Justin Kirk, Patrick Wilson, Ben Shenkman and original Angels Broadway star Jeffrey Wright.
