Would it be Harrison Ford without his wife, Calista Flockhart? This is the question that the actor asked himself on Sunday, January 14, on the stage of the 29th edition of the Critics' Choice Awards, as he received his Career Achievement Award, an honorary award given for his entire career. "I'd like to thank my lovely wife," he said, his voice breaking with emotion. She supports me when I need it most and I need a lot of support." Before delivering these few words, the 81-year-old Indiana Jones star gave the latter a tender kiss, captured by the cameras of the event, and relayed by the Daily Mail.

A 'grateful' actor
"I'm really happy to be here tonight. It's mostly thanks to several luck factors that have made me work with wonderful directors, writers, and filmmakers. I feel extremely lucky and also grateful to all the good actors I've been able to work with," continued the actor, who has never received an Oscar, but was greeted with a Palme d'Honneur at the last Cannes Film Festival. In front of him, seated in the audience, his wife could not hide her happiness and admiration. Indeed, Calista Flockhart, 59, the eternal Ally McBeal, was seen with tears in her eyes — tears of joy — as she listened intently to her husband's speech. At the end of his speech, Harrison Ford received a standing ovation from his peers. It was a time of emotion.
