Jodie will receive the honor at the Golden Globes ceremony Jan. 13, which will be telecast live on NBC.
Kristin Stewart, who starred with Foster in the 2002 thriller Panic Room and Simon Baker and the president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, Aida Takla-O'Reilly, announced yesterday morning that the multi-talented Foster will be honored at the 2013 Golden Globe Awards with the Cecil B. DeMille Award for her incredible impact on the world of entertainment.
This award, named after the legendary producer-director of such classic films as "The Greatest Show on Earth" and "The Ten Commandments," is given annually to "talented individuals who have made an incredible impact on the world of entertainment."
Previous winners of the award include Morgan Freeman, Martin Scorsese, Lucille Ball, Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, Sophia Loren and Audrey Hepburn, which is definitely an amazing group.
Foster, 49, who is a lead actress Oscar winner for both 1988's "The Accused" and 1991's "Silence of the Lambs," began her career at the age of 3. She earned her first Oscar nomination for 1976's "Taxi Driver." She's appeared in more than 40 films, including "The Panic Room," "Carnage," "Inside Man," "Anna and the King," "Contact" and "Nell." She recently completed the film "Elysium" with Matt Damon.
