Bridges will be honored by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association with the Cecil B. DeMille Award, an annual accolade given to a person who has made a lasting impact on the world of cinema.

The 69-year-old actor has been nominated for five Golden Globes and won once for his role as a faded country music star in 2009 drama "Crazy Heart." That performance also earned Bridges an Oscar. He also famously played the slacker known as "The Dude" in 1998's "Big Lebowski."

The DeMille Award is named after the influential Hollywood director who spanned both the silent and sound eras of film. Past winners have included Oprah Winfrey, Robert De Niro, and Meryl Streep.

The award will be handed out at the January 6 Golden Globes telecast in Beverly Hills, California.
