The Beverly Hills Cop franchise actor and SNL alum will be bestowed with the Cecile B. DeMille award at the Golden Globes in January.
Deadline has just confirmed the news. The decision is made by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s board of directors.
“We’re honored to present this year’s Cecil B. DeMille Award to the iconic and highly esteemed Mr. Eddie Murphy,” said HFPA President, Helen Hoehne. “We’re thrilled to be celebrating the lasting impact on film and television that his career – in front of and behind the camera – has had through the decades.”
Eddie Murphy is already a Golden Globe winner for his supporting role in Dreamgirls back in 2007, which he was also Oscar-nominated for. Overall he’s a 6x Globes nominee, his nods being for Dolemite is My Name (Best Actor Feature Musical or Comedy 2020), The Nutty Professor (Best Actor Feature Comedy or Musical, 1997), Beverly Hills Cop (Best Actor Feature Comedy or Musical, 1985), Trading Places (Best Actor Feature Comedy or Musical, 1985) and 48 Hrs.

Eddie Murphy follows in a long line of Cecil B. DeMille recipients that includes Jane Fonda (2020), Tom Hanks (2019), Jeff Bridges (2018), Oprah Winfrey (2017), Meryl Streep (2016), Denzel Washington (2015), George Clooney (2014), Woody Allen (2013), and Morgan Freeman (2012) among many others.
The other big honoree award on Globes night is the Carol Burnett Award, still yet to be announced.
This year’s ceremony is in Tuesday, Jan. 10 on NBC. It’s the final telecast for the Globes under the HFPA’s current contract with the Peacock network. Given the racial controversy the HFPA has endured and despite their efforts to make good to the Hollywood community, it’s not clear whether

As the Hollywood Foreign Press Association looks to get back on its feet after weathering diversity controversies, it has been buzzed that personal reps wouldn’t allow their clients to get back on stage. However, as the HFPA has expanded its ranks with journalists of color, it appears that the industry is pivoting in its attitude toward the organization.

Typically, Deadline and other media outlets are overwhelmed with requests after the Golden Globes to talk to giddy actors and actresses who just received their first (or repeat) nominations from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. But not this year. Despite a new level of transparency by the HFPA and promises that it has cleaned house, everyone still remains in a veritable “wait and see” state when it comes to the new and “improved” Golden Globes.
With all the talk about the diversification of the “new” Hollywood Foreign Press Association, particularly in terms of recruiting Black members to make up for the sheer paucity of them as revealed originally in a now-infamous Los Angeles Times report, it might be one of this morning’s key surprises in the nominations for the 80th Golden Globe Awards, that not a single film with strong Black themes or actors or behind the camera talent was among the Best Picture nominees in either Drama or Comedy/Musical categories. Most egregiously missing in those key categories, as well as directing and writing were hotly awards-buzzed The Woman King, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and Till, the latter film completely shut out despite heavy Oscar attention expected for its star Danielle Deadwyler who last week was named Best Lead Performance at the Gothams as well as Best Actress at the Critics Choice Celebration of Black Cinema & Television. Will Smith’s return in Emancipation from director Antoine Fuqua also was AWOL, although considering its decidedly mixed critical reception and inherent controversy (although not with the Globes) that isn’t all that surprising to see it snubbed.
