Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s president Meher Tatna said they’re looking forward to celebrating The Big Lebowski star, his remarkable career, and philanthropic achievements.

“The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is delighted to bestow the 2019 Cecil B. DeMille Award on Jeff Bridges. Bridges’ brilliant body of work across diverse genres has captured the hearts and minds of audiences worldwide for more than six decades,” said Tatna.

Bridges has one Golden Globe victory under his belt, thanks to his magnificent performance in musical drama Crazy Heart from 2009. He also scored nods for the movies Starman (1984), The Fisher King (1991), The Contender (2000) and Hell or High Water (2016).

Some of the biggest success stories of his career, including the Coen brothers classics The Big Lebowski and True Grit, surprisingly didn’t make the cut, but HFPA will have an opportunity to honor them with Cecil B. DeMille award.

This honor is history in the making as Winfrey will be the first ever black women to receive the award.

The news were announced by Morgan Freeman, a fellow Cecil B. DeMille honoree during the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s Golden Globe 75th Anniversary Special on NBC. President of HFPA, Meher Tanta said:

“The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is delighted to announce Oprah Winfrey as the recipient of the 2018 Cecil B. DeMille Award.  As a global media leader, philanthropist, producer, and actress, she has created an unparalleled connection with people around the world, making her one of the most respected and admired figures today. For generations, Oprah has celebrated strong female characters on and off screen and has been a role model for women and young girls for decades. Holding titles such as Chairman, CEO and Founder, Oprah is one of the most influential women of our time, and this honor is well deserved especially in this 75th anniversary year of the Golden Globe Awards.”

Winfrey will be the 15th woman to receive the awards, with Meryl Streep being the 14th and last year’s winner. She will also be the fourth person of color to receive the award after Sidney Potier (1982), Freeman (2012) and Denzel Washington (2016).

It seems that after hosting The Oprah Winfrey Show 25 years, serving as chairman and CEP of her own cable network, founding O, The Oprah Magazine and overseeing Harpo Films, there isn’t anything she can’t do.

Congratulation Oprah!
