The awards ceremony in the areas of film (14 categories) and television (11 categories) took place at a gala dinner at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills and was broadcast on NBC .

The nominations were also announced at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on December 11, 2008. The six-time Golden Globe winner Steven Spielberg was named the winner of the Cecil B. DeMille Award last year . He received the honorary award for his "extraordinary contribution to entertainment". Since the ceremony was canceled in 2008 because of the strike of the screenwriters organized in the WGA , the presentation of the Cecil B. DeMille Awards had been postponed to 2009.
