Harrison Ford was met with a warm reception as he received an honorary accolade at the highly anticipated 2026 Actor Awards ceremony.

On Sunday, March 1, the 83-year-old actor appeared visibly moved as he was presented with SAG-AFTRA’s annual Life Achievement Award during the ceremony, held at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles.

Taking the stage to accept the honour, presented by his longtime friend and fellow actor Woody Harrelson, 64, Ford expressed heartfelt gratitude for receiving such a meaningful recognition.

"Sometimes we make entertainment; sometimes we make art. Sometimes we're lucky to make 'em both at the same time, and if we're really fortunate, we also get to make a living doing it," he began his eight-minute speech.

The Blade Runner star added, "Success in this business brings a certain freedom that comes with responsibility to support each other, to lift others up when we can, to keep the door open for the next kid, the next lost boy who's looking for a place to belong."

He also described himself as incredibly fortunate to still be doing what he loves, noting that he does not take that privilege for granted.

In closing, Ford thanked his peers and family, particularly his wife of over 15 years, for their unwavering support.

"I want to say thank you, truly, from the bottom of my heart, to my peers, to my extraordinary beautiful wife Calista and my family, who have given me love and courage through all of it," he said.
