Steven Spielberg is to receive an award for his "outstanding contribution to entertainment" at next year's Golden Globe Awards, organizers have said.

The director will take home the Cecil B DeMille Award in recognition of a career that has seen him make some of the highest-grossing films of all time.

Spielberg, 60, has already won six Golden Globes for films like Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List and ET.

The Golden Globe Awards ceremony will take place on 13 January 2008.

It is the latest honour for the director who has previously received lifetime achievement awards from the Directors Guild of America, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the American Film Institute and the Kennedy Centre.

Previous recipients of the Cecil B DeMille Award include Warren Beatty, Anthony Hopkins, Al Pacino and Michael Douglas.

Spielberg is currently working on Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, starring Harrison Ford and Cate Blanchett, to be released in May 2008.
