NEW YORK — George Clooney accepted a lifetime achievement award from the Golden Globes Sunday by honoring others — his Hollywood colleagues, his new wife and millions who marched in the wake of attacks in France last week. The veteran actor who moved from "ER" into movies was given the Cecil B.
DeMille Award, an honor that has gone to the likes of Walt Disney, Bob Hope, Alfred Hitchcock and, in recent years, to Jodie Foster, Morgan Freeman and Robert DeNiro. He was introduced by two former co-workers, Julianne Margulies and Don Cheadle.
"You've always been very kind to me," he said, addressing the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which has nominated Clooney in more Golden Globe categories than any person. "I thank you for keeping small films alive. Big ones do fine. It's the little ones that need an audience." — AP
