LOS ANGELES, Nov. 28 (Xinhua) -- Academy Award-winning director Milos Forman will received the Lifetime Achievement Award for Distinguished 1 Achievement in Motion Picture Direction, the Directors Guild 2 of America (DGA) announced on Wednesday.
"No matter what subject or genre 3 he tackles, Milos finds the universality of the human experience in every story, allowing us -- his rapt audience -- to recognize ourselves within the struggle for free expression and self-determination that Milos so aptly portrays 4 on the silver screen," DGA president Taylor Hackford said in a prepared statement.
Forman, 80, won the Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Director for "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest(1975)" and "Amadeus( 1984)" besides taking home feature-film directing honors from the guild. Forman was also nominated for an Oscar for directing "The People vs. Larry Flynt(1996)." His other directorial projects include "Man on the Moon (1999)," "Valmont(1989)," "Ragtime 6 (1981), " "Hair (1979)" and "Loves of a Blonde (1964)."
The Czechoslovakia-born director, whose career spans five decades, will become the 34th recipient 7 of the DGA Lifetime Achievement Award, which is the highest honor to be bestowed 8 by the 76-year group. Renowned 9 directors including Cecil B. DeMille, Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Welles, Billy Wilder, Steven Spielberg, Francis Ford 5 Coppola, Martin Scorsese and Clint Eastwood were among the previous recipients 10.
Forman will receive the award at the 65th Annual DGA Awards held at the Hollywood & Highland 11 Center in Los Angeles Feb. 2, 2013.
