US actor, director and producer George Clooney is to receive an honorary award at next year’s Golden Globes.<\/p>\n
Organisers said the 53-year-old would be given its Cecil B DeMille award for “his outstanding contributions both in front of and behind the camera”.<\/p>\n
Clooney was being recognised “as much for his global humanitarian efforts as he is for his accomplishments in the entertainment industry,” the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) said.<\/p>\n
2015’s awards take place on 11 January.<\/p>\n
Recent recipients of the DeMille award, named after the famed producer of The Ten Commandments, include Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg and the late Robin Williams.<\/p>\n
Woody Allen was honoured at this year’s event, though the actor and director did not travel to Los Angeles to collect his accolade.<\/p>\n
Clooney is no stranger to the Golden Globes, having been previously honoured by the HFPA for his performances in The Descendants, O Brother Where Art Thou and Syriana.<\/p>\n
The former ER star and Hollywood heartthrob is expected to tie the knot shortly with human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin.<\/p>\n
