Helen Mirren to Receive Prestigious Cecil B. DeMille Award at Golden Globes' 'Golden Eve' Special
Acclaimed actress Dame Helen Mirren will be honored with the esteemed Cecil B. DeMille Award in a primetime special airing on CBS and Paramount+, just days before the 83rd annual Golden Globe Awards. The tribute, titled "Golden Eve," will take place on January 8, ahead of the main ceremony on January 11.
Mirren's illustrious career spans over six decades across film, television, and stage. She has garnered widespread recognition for her outstanding performances in roles such as Queen Elizabeth II in Stephen Frears' "The Queen" and Elizabeth I in the TV series "Elizabeth I." A three-time Golden Globe winner and a recipient of an Oscar, Emmy, and Tony Award, Mirren is one of only a few performers to achieve the prestigious Triple Crown of acting.
The DeMille Award, named after Hollywood legend Cecil B. DeMille, has been presented to 69 industry icons, including Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Oprah Winfrey, Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier, and Barbra Streisand. This year's award ceremony will also feature the announcement of the Carol Burnett Award recipient for outstanding contributions to television.
The "Golden Eve" special promises an immersive experience with curated retrospectives, rare archival footage, and heartfelt tributes from Mirren's friends, collaborators, and industry peers. The event marks a significant milestone in Golden Week, a new initiative by Paramount and Dick Clark Productions that will roll out programming and events across platforms leading up to the main Golden Globes ceremony.
In a statement, Golden Globes president Helen Hoehne expressed admiration for Mirren's extraordinary career, stating, "Helen Mirren is a force of nature... Her transcendent performances and commitment to her craft continue to inspire generations of artists and audiences alike. It is a profound honor to present her with the Cecil B. DeMille Award."

I mean, don't get me wrong, she's an iconic actress and all that jazz, but 90 minutes of her life is a bit excessive for my taste. And what's with the "Golden Eve" title? Sounds like some cheesy romance novel to me... The DeMille Award is already pretty prestigious, do they really need to make it feel more special by turning it into a mini-movie event? 
Give me a short, concise award ceremony any day!
. Six decades in the industry? That's insane! She's been killing it since we were kids watching TV, and now she's being recognized as one of the greatest of all time. I mean, the fact that she's got an Oscar, Emmy, Tony Award, and three Golden Globes is already pretty impressive, but this DeMille Award thing takes it to a whole new level 
. It's like they're giving her a big ol' hug from the entire entertainment industry at once 
. I'm not even kidding when I say that this tribute special on January 8th is going to be EPIC!
It's like butter for your soul.
And, let's be real, it's about time someone honored this incredible woman's legacy. She deserves it! 
. I mean, remember when Meryl Streep was still relatively new on the scene and now she's one of the legends we're looking up to? It's crazy how fast time flies! And can you believe Helen Mirren has been doing this for over 60 years already? She's like the OG actress, you know? I'm excited to see what they'll have on that "Golden Eve" special - I hope they play some old clips from The Queen and Elizabeth I... those were some of my favorite movies growing up 
. This whole Golden Week thing is gonna be a lot of fun, I just hope it doesn't feel too commercialized like the Grammys do.
The way they're gonna celebrate her legacy w/ a special tribute on Jan 8 is gonna be so epic. Curated retrospectives rare footage and heartfelt tributes? Yaaas, let the queen shine! 
Can't wait to watch it on CBS & Paramount+
. And let's not forget her wins: Oscar, Emmy, Tony... she's basically got the Triple Crown of acting 
. The "Golden Eve" special is gonna be EVERYTHING 
. Can't wait to see all that archival footage and hear from her friends & collaborators about what makes her tick 
. This is a major milestone for Golden Week, btw 
. And can we talk about how amazing her career is? Three Golden Globes and an Oscar, Emmy, and Tony Award? Triple Crown of acting, baby! 
She's definitely one of the greatest of all time, and I'm so excited to see this special come together on January 8 
. It's gonna be a night to remember, for sure 
. But hey, at least it's not about the money – although I'm pretty sure there are plenty of behind-the-scenes deals that went into making this happen 
.
I mean, can you even imagine getting to see so much behind-the-scenes goodness? It's like, the ultimate tribute. And to think, she's been recognized by so many people in the industry already (I mean, have you seen that list of DeMille Award winners?!?! 
another celeb getting all the recognition 
, what about the rest of us struggling to pay our bills 
? Helen Mirren's got 6 decades of experience under her belt and still manages to land this award just days before the real Golden Globes ceremony 
. Meanwhile, the world is dealing with climate change, pandemics, and economic uncertainty... a little glamour never hurts tho 
.
but seriously, helen mirren is a legend and it's awesome she's getting the Cecil B. DeMille Award 
the way they're celebrating her with all these tributes and retrospectives sounds like so much fun 
. The Golden Eve special sounds like a must-watch, too - all those tributes and archival footage will be so cool to see 
. Can't wait to see Meryl Streep announced as the Carol Burnett Award winner next! 
, you know? I mean, 6 decades in the industry? That's insane! And to receive the DeMille Award is just, like, totally well-deserved. I've seen her in "The Queen" and she's just so powerful on screen 
when I watch this "Golden Eve" special - it's going to be so emotional! 
. The Golden Globes are going to be lit this year!
