The actor gave a shoutout to collaborators and thanked his wife Calista Flockhart as he accepted the Career Achievement Award at the award show.
Harrison Ford reflected on his career and thanked his wife, Calista Flockhart, for offering him “a lot of support” in an heartfelt speech during the Critics Choice Awards on Sunday.
The actor, who accepted the Career Achievement Award at the ceremony, got emotional as he took the stage after “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” director James Mangold referred to Ford’s “breathtaking” body of work and called him a “star so big he contains multitudes.”
Ford shared a kiss with Flockhart before walking on stage to an ovation from a room that included Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ke Huy Quan and Tom Hiddleston.
“Come on, I only have three minutes,” said Ford as he got some laughs out of the crowd.
“First of all, I’m really happy to be here and just see what our business is turning into and all of the talented people who are getting opportunities that probably would not have existed in my early part of my career. I’m very happy about that.”
