Globes Push Back Spielberg Honor

SpielbergIt was annoucned many months ago that Steven Spielberg, my favorite director, was to be presented with the Cecil B. Demille award for this years Golden Globes.  Now since the Globes have been cancelled, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has decided to push back the award for the 2009 ceremony.  From Variety:

Steven Spielberg will be presented with the Cecil B. DeMille award at the 2009 Golden Globes ceremony. He was to be given the award this year, but the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. decided Tuesday that it would be better to give the trophy at the 66th annual ceremonies, rather than at the press conference to be held Sunday.

This makes complete sense.  I agree with this move totally.  It would be unfair to such an acclaimed director to received this kind of honor during a shitty press conference.  Thats if he was even going to cross the picket lines to receive the award. I was looking foward to seeing him receive this award, but by pushing it back another year to give it to him during the ceremony, I think is a smart move.
