Morgan Freeman was honored with the Golden Globes’ annual Cecil B. DeMille award for his lifetime of incredible work in film and television (he starred on the 70s kids show The Electric Company).

Believe it or not he is only the second African-American to receive this illustrious award (Sidney Poitier was the first, back in 1982).

Freeman has played everything from a low-life pimp to the personification of God.
