At the 8th Annual Critics’ Choice Awards, Daniel Day Lewis and Jack Nicholson both won for Best Actor – Lewis for “Gangs of New York” and Nicholson for “About Schmidt”. Salma Hayek presents and Robin Williams (the only Best Actor Nominee not to receive an award) gives his commentary in this funny podium moment. The 8th Critics’ Choice Awards were given on 17 January 2003 to honor the finest achievements in 2002 filmmaking.
Ellen DeGeneres showcased her trademark self-effacing wit and considerable emotion when she accepted the honorary Carol Burnett Award at the 77th #GoldenGlobeAwards2020 on Sunday.
“I’m going to be quick, although I don’t have to because it’s a special award and they don’t play me off,” DeGeneres teased at the top of her speech before landing the second part of the gag: “I was born in New Orleans in 1958 …”
The award is the equivalent of the Cecil B. DeMille Award, which has traditionally been awarded to film actors and directors.
