Harrison Ford was honored at the Critics Choice Awards with the Career Achievement Award and delivered a heartfelt speech.
“I’m really happy to be here tonight [and] to see what our business is turning into,” Ford said, accepting his award after a standing ovation from the crowd. “And all of the talented people who are getting opportunities that probably would not have existed in the early part of my career. I’m really happy about that.”
The Star Wars alum said he felt “enormously lucky” for the honor and thanked his “lovely wife,” Calista Flockhart, who was visibly emotional with tears in her eyes.
Ford noted that his wife “supports me when I need a lot of support — and I need a lot of support.”
“I’m grateful to all the fine actors — I see many of them here tonight — that I’ve worked with and I’m deeply happy to have had the opportunities that I’ve had,” he continued. “Thank you, I won’t take any more of your time.”
