Claim
In 1981, he received the Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award
Correction
This year is off by one. Official Golden Globes sources say Sidney Poitier received the Cecil B. DeMille Award in 1982, not 1981.
Full reasoning
The claim gives the wrong year for Poitier’s Cecil B. DeMille Award.
Official Golden Globes materials list Poitier’s DeMille honor as 1982:
- The Golden Globes’ Sidney Poitier profile links to “Ready for My deMille: Profiles in Excellence - Sidney Poitier, 1982.”
- A Golden Globes article titled “1982: Sidney Poitier - Elegance and Grace” states that he was awarded the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the ceremony in 1982.
Because the official award records place this honor in 1982, the article’s statement that he received it in 1981 is incorrect.
