Harrison Ford has been fortunate enough to work with some of the greatest cinematic voices of all time, but none of them were called out by name when the 81-year-old actor accepted the Career Achievement Award at the 29th Annual Critics Choice Awards ceremony last weekend. The only individual who got a specific shoutout during his speech was Ford’s wife of the last 14 years, Calista Flockhart.
“I’m really happy to be here tonight, to see what our business is turning into 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 very happy about that,” said the Star Wars and Indiana Jones alum before accepting the accolade from Dial of Destiny director/co-writer, James Mangold. “I’m here because of a combination of luck and the work of wonderful directors, writers, filmmakers. I feel enormously lucky. I’m happy for this honor and I appreciate it very much. I want to thank my lovely wife, Calista Flockhart, who 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. I’m grateful. Thank you. I won’t take any more of your time. Thank you.”
