Dame Helen Mirren has portrayed multiple queens, a prime minister, a detective, Barbie narrator and many other roles in more than a half-century of acting.
Her latest role is as a Golden Globe lifetime achievement honouree.
Dame Helen will receive the 2026 Cecil B DeMille Award in January, the Golden Globes announced on Wednesday.
“Helen Mirren is a force of nature and her career is nothing short of extraordinary,” Helen Hoehne, Golden Globes president, said in a statement.
“Her transcendent performances and commitment to her craft continue to inspire generations of artists and audiences alike.”
This time, the award will be presented during a new annual prime time special, Golden Eve, honouring recipients of both the DeMille Award and the Carol Burnett Award, which honours achievement in television.
That special will air on January 8 on CBS and stream on Paramount+.
