Couldn't fit the whole title in there because of the character limit, but here it is:
Denzel Washington will be honored with the Cecil B Demille award at the Golden Globes.
The winner of this year’s Cecil B. DeMille Award has been a star for more than 30 years. He could have played it safe, picking roles that tap into his likability and charisma, and he still would have had a good career. But he has continued to surprise his fans by taking on more complex characters. He has also stretched himself by returning to the stage, and adding on the jobs of producer and director.
But the most impressive thing is that he’s used his clout to help others, both by giving major breaks to some talented (but struggling) artists and by quietly giving time, money and attention to philanthropies.
Washington joins a long line of Hollywood notables, from the first DeMille recipient, Walt Disney (1953), to last year’s honoree, George Clooney. The list ranges from Bette Davis and Gregory Peck through Sidney Poitier and Steven Spielberg.
