"I've worked my whole life. I've ridden the highs and
tried to learn from the lows. And in all of these almost
60 years, there is not a day that I don't feel quietly
thrilled to call myself an actor," 58th honoree Field told
the audience. "Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for
this great honor from you, the people I most wanted
respect from in my life: actors. Thank you."

"These moments in
one's life usually will
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,"
joked 54th recipient
Freeman. "I do want to
thank SAG-AFTRA for
this enormous honor.
This is beyond honor.
This is a place in
history."
