Clooney Receives Cecil B Demille Award At Golden Globes


LOS ANGELES: Hollywood star George Clooney was honoured with Cecil B DeMille Award at the 72nd Golden Globe Awards for his contribution to cinema and humanitarian work and the actor took the opportunity to pay a tribute to Charlie Hebdo.

Paying tribute to the victims of the attack in Paris last week, Clooney said, "Today was an extraordinary day, there were millions of people who marched not just in Paris but around the world, and they were Christians and Jews and Muslims, they were leaders of countries all over the world and they didn't march in protest.

"They marched in support of the idea that we will not walk in fear. So Je suis Charlie (I am Charlie)," he said of the free speech march in Paris, a tribute which was repeated by others stars like Helen Mirren, Diane Kruger, Kathy Bates, who showed placards bearing the line on the Globes red carpet.

Clooney attended the ceremony with his lawyer wife Amal Alamuddin and honoured her in his acceptance speech by calling her the love of his life which took him 53 years to find.

"It is a humbling thing when you find someone to love. Even better if you have been waiting your whole life. And when your whole life is 53 years. Amal, whatever alchemy it is that brought us together, I couldn't be more proud to be your husband," Clooney said after the accepting the honour.

Clooney, who is the most nominated actor in Golden Globes, got married to Alamuddin, 36 last year.
