In the future, everything will be dictated soothingly in Morgan Freeman’s voice.

During the 2012 Golden Globe Awards Morgan Freeman was presented with the Cecil B. DeMille aware for career achievement.

As is standard practice the Hollywood Foreign Press Association put together some of the actors most memorable clips including The Shawshank Redemption, Invictus and Driving Miss Daisy. However it may not have been the “classics” he starred in that earned him the biggest notice of the night.

Near the end of the Morgan Freeman presentation he was shown dressed as a vampire, sopaing himself down inside a casket for the 1974 TV series The Electric Company.

In case you missed this odd, silly bit here it is:

Obviously the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has plenty of respect for Morgan Freeman or they wouldn’t have given him the award, it’s just nice to know that they can also have a sense of humor about their own show. After all the Golden Globes are the laid back Academy Awards.

What do you think about the Morgan Freeman casket presentation?

Over the last four decades, Morgan Freeman has added Oscars, Golden Globes, and SAG awards to his trophy shelf. The decorated actor can now add the Cecil B. Demille award to his ever growing collection.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced today that Freeman will be given the Cecil B. DeMille Award, a lifetime achievement award, at the 69th annual Globes ceremony on Jan. 15.

According to IMDB, Freeman made his big screen debut in 1965 in the movie “The Pawnbroker.” Since then he has starred in classic films like “Shawshank Redemption,” “Driving Miss Daisy,” “Seven,” and “Unforgiven.” He won an Oscar in 2004 for his performance in “Million Dollar Baby.”

The versatile actor has played God, a prison inmate, a detective, a slave, a driver, a soldier, and the president. Here’s a look at some of Morgan Freeman’s roles.

Freeman has been in the movie business for more than 40 years, but his career shows no signs of slowing down. In the last 5 years Freeman has starred in some of Hollywood’s biggest hits like “The Dark Knight,” “Red,” and “Invictus.”

The Associated Press reports that the Cecil B. DeMille Award is chosen by the board of directors for the foreign press group. The board consists of about 90 reporters that cover Hollywood from international markets.

Robert De Niro won the award last year. Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, and Clint Eastwood are also Cecil B. DeMile award winners.

Uh oh.

Morgan Freeman- best known as the voice of pretty much everyone important ever in every film in the past decade or two- is out promoting his newest film, the Ashley Judd and Harry Connick, Jr. sap-fest, Dolphin Tale. The film seems to center around a dolphin that lost its fin, or something- normally a fatal condition for a dolphin, apparently- and the efforts of a little boy to replace the creature’s fin. Morgan Freeman plays the crotchety but fair old doctor who initially balks at the suggestions, but ends up replacing the fin and everything goes better than expected.

The film is probably not attracting film-goers with edgy tastes, and Freeman has gone and probably done what every studio dreads when a big star is out promoting a film- he’s alienated a lot of the audience. Freeman was promoting the film on CNN’s Piers Morgan when the conversation turned to the political climate. And the gravelly-voiced actor didn’t mince words when describing the Tea Party’s agenda:

“[The Tea Party's] stated policy, publicly stated, is to do whatever it takes to see to it that Obama only serves one term term. What’s, what does that, what underlines that? Screw the country. We’re going to do whatever we do to get this black man, we can, we’re going to do whatever we can to get this black man outta here.”

While many Americans were probably shouting, “go Morgan!” from their couches, several have taken offense to Freeman’s commentary. One notable liberal dissenter was Alec Baldwin, who said the Tea Party took issue with Obama’s character and policies, not his race. (Respectfully, Mr. Baldwin, have you seen some of their signs?)

Freeman has yet to respond to the backlash. Do you find his assessment on point, or was Freeman himself reflecting racial bias in his statement?

Morgan Freeman Under Fire For Calling Tea Party Racist is a post from: The Inquisitr

The National Enquirer is reporting that Morgan Freeman is accused of an affair with his step-granddaughter in his ongoing divorce.

Freeman, 72, has been involved with the upbringing of E’Dena Hines, 27, since she was young. But apparently he’s from the Woody-Soon Yi school of parenting, because the alleged affair began when E’Dena was still a teenager.

E’Dena confessed the whole thing to Freeman’s wife Myrna Colley-Lee, who admits their marriage was open. E’Dena confirmed a tryst in a California hotel room and the subsequent sending of naughty cellphone pics to the septugenarian actor in lieu of sex.

The decade-long affair even proved to be a bit much for Morgan’s long-time mistress, who also couldn’t handle the squicky pair. E’Dena has been Morgan’s “date” for many high-profile Hollywood events, including the premiere of The Dark Knight.

Morgan Freeman’s alleged affair… with his step-granddaughter is a post from: The Inquisitr

In Hollywood? 24 years? Even though being together for what we consider a lifetime in Tinsel Town Years, Morgan Freeman and wife Myrna Colley-Lee are splitting up:

Mississippi-based attorney Bill Luckett tells Access Hollywood the couple “are involved in a divorce action.” Luckett adds that “for legal and practical purposes, [Freeman and Colley-Lee] have been separated since December of 2007.”

Morgan Freeman’s having an awfully rocky year, since the news of his divorce happens to be riding on the coattails of his bad, bad accident.
