So very short. Indeed, that was the main key to Ford's acceptance speech success.
The only blight on that little ceremony was having the monotone and out-of-his-element Ben Affleck give out the award, simply because he's taking over as Jack Ryan. Don't know who Paramount had to pay-off to make that awkward bit happen, but it was silly. Why not have Spielberg (who was there, obviously) or Lucas or Coppola or Mike Nichols or Sydney Pollack or Sean Connery or Carrie Fisher or Sigourney Weaver or Michelle Pfeiffer or James Earl Jones or Brad Pitt or virtually ANYBODY else besides Affleck do it? I mean I realize they all had their say recently at the AFI Life Achievement Award, in a much more dignified and meaningful ceremony, but still.
At least it was short.
The clip package was fine, but honestly I could have put together a better one.
