Excellent time coming for Warren Beatty as he is going to receive a lifetime achievement award at next year’s Golden Globes, organizers have announced.
The actor, director, producer and screen writer will be awarded with the Cecil B. De Mille Award in recognition of films like Dick Tracy, Bonnie and Clyde and Shampoo.
He further made films like McCabe & Mrs. Miller (1971), The Parallax View (1974), Shampoo (1975), and Heaven Can Wait (1978).
At age 30 he achieved applause and power as a producer and star of Bonnie & Clyde (1967), which was nominated for 10 Academy Awards.
Reds (1981), one of his best movies, won Academy Awards for Best Director (Beatty), Best Cinematography, and Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Maureen Stapleton) while losing Best Picture to Chariots of Fire.
Beatty is the only person other than Orson Welles to receive Oscar nominations in the same year for acting, directing, writing, and producing, and he did it twice, in 1978 and 1981.
He will collect the lifetime achievement award at the Golden Globes ceremony on 15 January, 2007.
