The Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced Monday that Ellen DeGeneres will receive the second annual Carol Burnett Award for lifetime achievement in television at the Golden Globes next year.
She’ll be awarded with the trophy at the live awards ceremony on Sunday, January 5, 2020.
“The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is delighted to honor Ellen DeGeneres with the Carol Burnett Award,” said HFPA president Lorenzo Soria. “From her sitcoms, to stand-up, to becoming a household staple on daytime television, she is a pioneer who has captivated audiences for nearly 25 years with her undeniable charm and wit. In addition to her television success, she’s an advocate and philanthropist, lending her voice to those who don’t have one, and spreading kindness and joy through the power of her platform.
