Los Angeles: British-born actor Sir Anthony Hopkins, best known for his Oscar-winning role as the evil Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs, will receive the lifetime achievement award at the Golden Globe Awards.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which hands out the awards, said on Wednesday that Hopkins would be presented with the Cecil B. DeMille Award at its January 16 Golden Globe Awards ceremony in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.
The prolific Hopkins, 67, has been nominated for six Golden Globes including his work in Nixon, The Remains of the Day and Magic.
Born in Wales, he was given a knighthood in 1993 but he now lives in Los Angeles and took US citizenship in 2000.
Previous recipients of the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement include Al Pacino, Michael Douglas and Robin Williams.
