"No matter what subject or genre³ 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 portrays⁴ 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)," "Ragtime⁶ (1981), " "Hair (1979)" and "Loves of a Blonde (1964)."

The Czechoslovakia-born director, whose career spans five decades, will become the 34th recipient⁷ of the DGA Lifetime Achievement Award, which is the highest honor to be bestowed⁸ by the 76-year group. Renowned⁹ directors including Cecil B. DeMille, Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Welles, Billy Wilder, Steven Spielberg, Francis Ford⁵ Coppola, Martin Scorsese and Clint Eastwood were among the previous recipients¹⁰.
