After an illustrious career of more than five decades, veteran actor Morgan Freeman has taken home the biggest honour in the entertainment industry. The 80-year-old actor, who was honoured with the Screen Actors Guild's Life Achievement Award, acknowledged how momentous this achievement was for him. In his acceptance speech, he said, 'These moments in life usually call for an entire litany of thank yous. I can't do that because I don't know all of your names, so I won't try. This is beyond an honour. This is a place in history. I want to say thanks to SAGs for this enormous honour'.
