Dimitrios Kambouris/WireImage.comMartin Scorsese is a GreatFella. Just ask the folks behind the Golden Globes, who've tapped the legendary Oscar-winning filmmaker as the latest recipient of their highest honor.
Scorsese, 67, will pick up the the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement at the 67th Annual Golden Globes set to take place Jan. 17 and hosted by Ricky Gervais.
They're talkin' to you, Marty.
Scorsese will be saluted for a groundbreaking four-decade career that includes such films as Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, GoodFellas, The Last Temptation of Christ, The Age of Innocence, Gangs of New York, The Aviator and The Departed, which earned him the long-deserved Oscar and Golden Globe for Best Director.
His next effort, the Leonardo DiCaprio-fronted suspense thriller Shutter Island, is due out Feb. 19.
Scorsese joins such previous DeMille Award recipients as Anthony Hopkins, Michael Douglas, Warren Beatty, Robin Williams and last year's winner, his good friend Steven Spielberg.
Nominations for the Globes are due out Dec. 15.
