Sir Anthony to receive Golden Globe special honour
The Oscar-winning star will be honoured for lifetime achievement.

Sir Anthony Hopkins will pick up a prestigious lifetime achievement award at the 63rd annual Golden Globe awards in January.
Welsh born Hopkins, who now resides in LA, picked up an Oscar in 1991 for his portrayal of 'Hannibal Lecter' in Jonathan Demme's 'Silence of the Lambs'.
He went on to receive further Oscar nominations for 'The Remains of the Day' and 'Nixon', as well as six Golden Globe nominations.
