Sir Sean Connery last night received one of the highest honors in European cinema at a ceremony in Berlin. He won the European Film Academy Lifetime Achievement Award at the European Film Awards.

"I am very Honored," actor Sean Connery said. He also said he wished he could be accepting the prize as if "Scotland was independent and had a voice in Europe, so you're stuck with me for the moment"...

Among his film credits are A Bridge Too Far, Marnie, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Name of the Rose and The Legend of Zorro, working with many of the great directors including Alfred Hitchcock, Sir Richard Attenborough and Steven Spielberg.
