HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 18 (UPI) -- Actor and producer Michael Douglas will receive the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the 61st annual Golden Globes, the Hollywood Reporter said Tuesday.
Awarded by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the DeMille Award, which recognizes outstanding contributions to the entertainment field, is voted on only by the HFPA's board of directors.
Douglas has received two Golden Globes -- one as best actor (drama) for "Wall Street" and one as a producer of the Golden Globe-winning best picture (drama), "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."
He has four additional Golden Globe nominations -- three as best film actor for "Wonder Boys," "The American President" and "The War of the Roses" and one for best television actor (drama) for "The Streets of San Francisco."
His father, Kirk Douglas, received the DeMille Award in 1968, making the younger Douglas the only second-generation DeMille honoree.
The 61st Golden Globes will be handed out Jan. 25.
