Organisers will present the Polish-born director with the award for his contributions to underage sex with a 13 year old girl. This achievement it can be confirmed was also due to his ability to escape to Europe as police swooped to arrest him.Polanski's works include his cinematic debut, 1962's Knife in the Water, The Fearless Vampire Killers, Rosemary's Baby, Chinatown, Frantic, Death & the Maiden and his 2003 hit The Pianist.
The movie maker has refused to return to the U.S. since he fled in 1977 after pleading guilty to unlawful sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old girl. Organisers of the awards to be held in Austria confirmed that originally Mr Polanski was to be nominated in the "Longest Hide and Seek" category. However upon reflection the panel felt it was best to leave him in the Paedophile underage sex category instead.
When questioned on his possible return to America the Polish director stated that he was happy where he was. This was in main due to the fact the European film industry had no problem with his tastes. Mr Polanski's next film is to commence shortly and is rumoured to have the working title of Cherry Poppers 5.
