Hollywood star Tyler Perry, who has been at the forefront of the entertainment industry`s recovery amid the coronavirus pandemic, took home the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at the 2021 Oscars ceremony. According to Variety, Perry was one of the first major Hollywood players to tackle the pandemic head-on, developing Camp Quarantine, a multi-step plan to get production up and running. He resumed production in July, hosting about 360 cast and crew members on the 330-acre campus at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta for the duration of each project.

In the year since Perry and his team announced their quarantine bubble model, the crew produced multiple seasons of his BET series `Sistas` and `The Oval`, as well as BET Plus shows `Ruthless`, `Bruh` and the upcoming `All the Queen`s Men`.
