The honor was presented by fellow actor Woody Harrelson, who delivered a heartfelt speech praising Ford's illustrious career. Harrelson described Ford as a timeless American treasure, highlighting his iconic roles and lasting impact on cinema.

A First from SAG-AFTRA

This award marks Ford's first recognition from SAG-AFTRA, despite his long-standing presence in Hollywood. Notably, he has yet to secure a major competitive acting award, such as an Oscar or Emmy. Last year, Ford was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series for his role in Shrinking, but lost to Martin Short for Only Murders in the Building.

The Life Achievement Award serves as a testament to Ford's dedication and influence in the entertainment world, celebrating a career that spans over five decades and continues to inspire new actors and fans alike.
