Golden Globe winner and Oscar nominee Eddie Murphy will receive the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the 80th Annual Golden Globe Awards. He will be on hand to accept the award at this year’s ceremony that will air live on January 10, 2023.
The Cecil B. DeMille Award has been handed out since 1952 and it is ‘presented to a talented individual for their outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment’.
No recipients for the award were named last year as the Golden Globes were boycotted by talent, media and creatives, and NBC cancelled the broadcast, in the wake of concerns over diversity at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which had no Black members at that time, and other accountability issues.
Eddie Murphy has been nominated for a Globe for best actor in a comedy or musical for 2019′s ‘Dolemite is My Name’. Previous honorees for the Cecil B. DeMille Award include Tom Hanks, Oprah Winfrey and Meryl Streep.
