Kong, the star of Peter Jackson's "King Kong," will receive the Distinguished Achievement in Performing Arts Award on Jan. 9 at the 11th annual Critics' Choice Awards gala.

The Broadcast Film Critics Assn., the group behind the event, is creating the special award to recognize "the singular achievement in creating this character, representing a revolutionary leap forward in synthesizing visual effects with an actor's performance," the BFCA said.
