British-born actor Sir Anthony Hopkins, best known for his Oscar-winning role as the evil Hannibal Lecter in "The Silence of the Lambs," will receive a lifetime achievement award at the Golden Globe Awards in January.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which hands out the awards, said on Wednesday that Hopkins would be presented with the Cecil B. DeMille Award at its January 16 Golden Globe ceremony in Beverly Hills.

The prolific Hopkins, 67, has been nominated for six Golden Globes including his work in "Nixon," "The Remains of the Day" and "Magic."

You Said

I've always hated those "life time achievement" awards. Seems so silly and egotistical. "Let's celebrate someone who made movies!"
