Veteran film critic Roger Ebert received one of The Directors Guild of America's highest honors -- the 2009 Honorary Life Member Award -- this weekend in Hollywood, and ET was there!
Before the ceremony, DGA President Michael Apted said of the famed film critic, "From the blockbuster to the tiny independent film, Roger Ebert has devoted his career to sharing his love of film with generations of moviegoers. In doing so, he's kept directors on their toes for more than 40 years."
Formerly the co-host of "Ebert & Roeper At the Movies," Ebert is unable speak following his thyroid cancer battle, but continues to actively write about movies.
