DGA president Taylor Hackford called Forman "one of the greatest filmmakers of our time," and said “No matter what subject or genre he tackles, Miloš finds the universality of the human experience in every story, allowing us – his rapt audience – to recognize ourselves within the struggle for free expression and self-determination that Miloš so aptly portrays on the silver screen.”

On the day of the prize awarding, the Danish daily Jyllands-Posten published an article about the documentary movie Miloš Forman: What Doesn´t Kill You…(CZ, 2009) by director Miloslav Šmídmajer, which is now coming to the Danish cinemas.
