Named in Honor of the first Director to be awarded, the Cecil B. DeMille award is a lifetime achievemente for "outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment". 

This year actor, producer and director Jodie Foster will receive the Award and, as HFPA president Dr. Aida Takla O’Reilly said, she deserves it: “Jodie is a multifaceted woman that has achieved immeasurable amounts of success and will continue to do so in her career. Her ambition, exuberance and grace have helped pave the way for budding artists in this business. She’s truly one of a kind".
