COLOGNE -- British actor-writer-director Peter Ustinov will be awarded the Bavarian Film Prize for his life's work, German pubcaster Bayerische Rundfunk reported Wednesday. The award, presented by the German state of Bavaria, is one of the country's top film honors. Last year's prize went to director Roman Polanski. Oscar, Emmy and Golden Globe winner Ustinov is still a top draw in Germany, where he regularly appears in commercials and talk shows as well as German films and television series. Ustinov is currently on screen in Luther, Eric Till's German-financed biopic of Martin Luther. The 82-year-old actor also appears alongside Sinead Cusack and Geraldine Chaplin in the miniseries Winter Solstice, which airs Christmas Day on Germany's ZDF. Ustinov will receive the award at a Jan. 16 ceremony in Munich.
