Steven Spielberg's Cecil B. DeMille Award Pushed Back to 2009

Steven Spielberg will be presented with the Cecil B. DeMille award at the 2009 Golden Globes ceremony, according to Variety.

He was to be given the award this year, but the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA). decided Tuesday that it would be better to give the trophy at the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards in 2009, rather than at the press-conference format to be held Sunday. This year's awards ceremony was cancelled due to the WGA strike.

    Spielberg credited Cecil B. DeMille with inspiring him to make movies. Will he pay homage to his mentor by directing the C.B. DeMille biopic? Will Brad Grey welcome a distribution deal with Paramount to make this historic epic about the legendary director who ushered in Hollywood's Golden Age? Is this part of the DeMille conspiracy?

    im pretty sure he doesnt have say in whether he gets the award or when he gets it, its an achievement award and they prolly think that its a cheap way of giving it

    LOL! The reason they are waiting is to stroke is ego and make sure everyone is in the room to cheer and clap and bow down to him!
    Spielberg probably thinks it's beneath him to be givin an award at a press conference!
