Robert Duvall is to be honoured at the upcoming 22nd annual Palm Springs International Film Festival's Awards Gala.
The veteran actor will receive the 'Career Achievement' award at the January event, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Oscar winner Duvall has starred in a number of classic films, including The Godfather, The Conversation and Network.
The Get Low star has also directed four films, including The Apostle and Assassination Tango.
"For nearly 50 years, Robert Duvall has transfixed cinematic audiences with his gritty, intuitive performances," said festival chairman Harold Matzner.
Matzner further praised Duvall's latest performance in Get Low.
He added: "In Get Low, his most recent role, Duvall portrays a backwoodsman who stages his own funeral while still alive. Duvall gives a virtuoso performance, challenging audiences to understand his character who is caught between myth and reality."
The 79-year-old will join Natalie Portman, Javier Bardem, Colin Firth, Jennifer Lawrence and Carey Mulligan as honorers during the festival, which kicks off on January 8 at the Palm Springs Convention Center.
