"Helen Mirren, the British actor who is already the winner of awards including an Oscar, four Baftas, three Golden Globes, five Emmys and a Tony is to add another to the shelf: the Cecil B DeMille Golden Globe for lifetime achievement. Mirren, 80, who was given a damehood in 2003 and made a Bafta fellow in 2014, will pick up the award in a ceremony on 8 January, three days before the main Golden Globes take place,"
"This will also include the presentation of the Globes' Carol Burnett award for TV work, the recipient of which has yet to be announced. Helen Mirren is a force of nature, and her career is nothing short of extraordinary, said Helen Hoehne, president of the Golden Globes. Her transcendent performances and commitment to her craft continue to inspire generations of artists and audiences alike. It is a profound honour to present her with the Cecil B DeMille award."
"Mirren rose to fame in the 1970s with key roles on stage in the West End of London and with the Royal Shakespeare Company and in films such as O Lucky Man!, Caligula and The Long Good Friday. In the 1990s, her starring role in detective drama Prime Suspect broadened her fanbase further. Other key films include Excalibur, The Madness of King George, The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover, Gosford Park and Calendar Girls."
Helen Mirren, aged 80, will receive the Cecil B DeMille Golden Globe for lifetime achievement on 8 January, three days before the main Golden Globes, as part of Golden Eve. The Golden Eve event will also present the Carol Burnett award for TV work; the recipient has not been announced. Mirren's honours include an Oscar, four Baftas, three Golden Globes, five Emmys, a Tony, a damehood and a Bafta fellowship. She rose to prominence in the 1970s on the West End and with the Royal Shakespeare Company and achieved major acclaim for roles in The Queen, Prime Suspect and numerous films.
