Which honorary award did Helen Mirren receive at the 2026 Golden Globes?

Helen Mirren received the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the 2026 Golden Globes.

The Cecil B. DeMille Award is an honorary Golden Globe presented for outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment. Mirren’s recognition celebrated a career spanning stage, film, and television, including dramatic, comic, and historical roles.

Mirren is one of the few performers to achieve the major acting honors associated with both British and American entertainment institutions. Her screen work includes The Queen, Gosford Park, The Last Station, and Prime Suspect on television. She has also maintained a major theatre career.

The DeMille Award is distinct from the Carol Burnett Award. The DeMille honor traditionally recognizes broad career impact in film and entertainment, while the Burnett honor celebrates exceptional contributions to television. The 2026 ceremony presented these as separate lifetime-achievement recognitions.
