As the Emmy Awards approach, Harrison Ford revealed he has not prepared a speech in case he wins. The 83-year-old actor may be recognized for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for his role in Shrinking, but he remains unsure what he would say if honored.
Ford candidly shared this with Variety, expressing a laid-back attitude about the situation while emphasizing his unfamiliarity with awards ceremonies despite his long career.
Actor Reflects on Experience with Awards Ceremonies
“I’m not running for anything. I guess you say, ‘Thank you.’ Don’t you just say ‘thank you’?”
Ford said, highlighting his uncertainty about the traditional acceptance speech format. His comments suggest he prefers simplicity over rehearsed remarks.
He also acknowledged the challenge of adjusting to the spotlight at such events, stating,
“You don’t get used to this.”
This admission reflects the mix of anticipation and discomfort he associates with awards nights.
Show and Ceremony Details
The Emmy ceremony will be broadcast on CBS and streamed on Paramount+. For those unable to watch live, the event will later be available on Paramount+. Ford’s project, Shrinking, is currently streaming on Apple TV+, which has already renewed the series for a third season, although a premiere date has not yet been announced.
Significance of Ford’s Candidness at the Emmys
Ford’s openness about his unpreparedness and uneasy relationship with awards shows offers a rare glimpse into the mindset of a seasoned actor confronted with public acclaim. His straightforward approach may resonate with fellow performers who experience similar feelings.
