There’s no denying that Harrison Ford is one of the biggest stars to ever grace the silver screen, but at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards, held last night at the Barker Hangar at Santa Monica Airport, director James Mangold introduced him as more than that.
He called the actor’s legacy, which includes playing Han Solo and Indiana Jones, as well as parts in other blockbusters including Apocalypse Now, Blade Runner, and The Fugitive, that of a “hypergiant star… a star so big, he contains multitudes. A star so unique he attracts other stars, a star so bright he has warmed each of our lives in this room, in our audience, and, likely, on this planet.”
