Who received the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the 2026 Golden Globe Awards?

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

The Cecil B. DeMille Award is an honorary Golden Globe recognizing outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment. Mirren received the honor during Golden Eve, a special connected with the 83rd Golden Globes rather than during the main competitive awards telecast.

Harrison Ford presented Mirren with the award. The program also featured a guest appearance by Viola Davis, who had received the previous year’s Cecil B. DeMille Award. Mirren’s career includes work in film, television, and theatre, and she is known for performances ranging from historical drama to action and comedy.

Golden Eve aired on CBS and streamed on Paramount+ on January 8, 2026. Sarah Jessica Parker received the separate Carol Burnett Award at the same special. The two honors are lifetime-achievement awards, not competitive categories.
