Diane Warren, Euzhan Palcy, Peter Weir and Michael J. Fox received honorary Oscars at the Governors Awards in Los Angeles last night.
. He recalled his feelings when he was first diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease at the age of 29 in 1991, after he’d become a global star thanks to“I entered into seven years of denial, trying to make sense of it all,” Fox said onstage. “The hardest part of my diagnosis was battling with the uncertainty.”; Fox said he was met with an “outpouring of support” from both the public and his peers.
Fox’s speech, like so many that evening, was at times comedic, other times pensive and sometimes deeply emotional. Each of the honorees — some making it very clear they’d waited a long time for a moment like this — found a different message to share with the crowd. For Warren, the prolific songwriter who has created original songs for more than 100 films and worked with, she had 13 Oscar nominations worth of practice. She’d had “a lot of speeches that got crumpled up in my pocket,” she said, seemingly in awe to finally have her Oscar moment. “This is what I was born to do, this is what I love to do. I can’t believe I’m standing here right now and this is really happening.
. Many of his past collaborators were in the room , and in his video reel, several of them expressed their desire for the director to return to work. But Weir seemed satisfied with appearing in front of this Hollywood crowd for just this moment, sharing stories from his time on set, and mostly praising many of his collaborators, including“I love craft. I think that’s what it’s really all about…I had a wonderful 20 years making studio pictures.
