Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he will shut down two presidential councils after several business leaders resigned from their positions with the administration following Trump’s lackluster response to the deadly Charlottesville, Virginia, rally.

Trump’s announcement comes one day after news broke that members of the Strategic and Policy Forum decided to disband the group, Reuters reported, citing a source familiar with the matter.

Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio have been elected to present Martin Scorsese with the Cecil B. DeMille Award during the 67th Annual Golden Globes, which will be telecast on NBC this January 17th. Here is the official press release: Golden Globe winners Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio will present the Cecil B. DeMille Award to Martin Scorsese at "The 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards" on Sunday, January 17. The show, hosted by Ricky Gervais, will be broadcast live coast to coast on NBC (5 to 8 pm Pt, 8 to 11 pm Et) from The Beverly Hilton. "The 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards" will be seen in more than 160 countries worldwide and is one of the few awards ceremonies that span both television and motion picture achievements. The special will be produced by dick clark productions in association with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Philip Berk is President of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

In January, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) will bestow the Honorary Cecile B. DeMille Award to Martin Scorsese for “his outstanding contribution to the entertainment field,” to which we say “Congratulations, Mr. Scorsese.” Of course, any award honoring Scorsese’s career is well-earned by the prolific and influential director. His lengthy and diverse filmography naturally contains movies which flopped and received no support from film critics, but when you look at his hits, he has left an unforgettable stamp on not only American cinema, but on audiences the world over. That his work continues to improve and defy simple definition is an inspiration to aspiring filmmakers and a challenge to his peers. There’s only one complaint people have about the awards Scorsese receives: they’re overdue.
