[chevypillow247]

Ever since I was a little boy people have enjoyed the sound of my voice and I figured you get busy talkin' or you get busy dyin'. The work is really quite easy, why even right now i'm just sitting in a chair sipping some tea and reading from a script. The wall is covered with something that resembles egg crates, except they're soft...and spongy...Like a Twinkie...like a Twinkie.

[Ceaaa22]

Thanks YouTube for making these videos available. And in case you read these comments, thank you Mr. Freeman for the great entertainment that you have given us for many years and for being the person you are. Next to flying the Pope, meeting and talking with you on the way to Berlin, was one of my greatest pleasures. PS: I'm still waiting for that ride on your plane, if you bought it. :-)

I hate to say this- from JOE CLARK to ACADEMY AWARD winner. You're the best, Morgan! Especially playing GOD.

[iiGerardoii]

[AdArmand]

Many congratulations, Mr Freeman! Now, can the AFI please honor a woman next year? It's been an outrageously long time. It's the turn of Diane Keaton or Sigourney Weaver, surely?

[Ocramikov]

[fredury]

the entire hall seems kinda dim to me, darker than previous ceremonies

[thelupoistheman1]

[FewL4no1]

@lissi88

Have you seen Betty White's "Tribute" to Morgan Freeman from this AFI show? She does a song and dance routine that is quite entertaining.

[thelupoistheman1]

What a moment!

[cinemapsycho91]

Oh my god!!! I am crying right now!!!

[ShovelHorse]

Morgan Freeman and Clint Eastwood two gods

[Ocramikov]

the voice is so calm and wise..The message is deep but clear.. He didn't have to act, hi just need to talk, and people who hears him will know what kind of man he is.. Congratulations Mr. Freeman..

[Ocramikov]

I can find robin williams salutes de niro, or freeman salutes poitier.. But I can't find any of the salutes given to Morgan freeman anywhere.. Where can I find it??

[FewL4no1]

@Ocramikov

There should be one up with Betty White.

[BermudaRao]

Mr.Morgan Freeman is a great actor and even a great human being. All those who wish to pursue a career in cinema must aspire to act like Mr.Freeman.

[harrychalcraft]

WOW! What a speech.

[NewFriiiikan]

Please put Tim Robbins speach on youtube :D

[sleepymofo]

Are there other videos where his peers says something about him during this event? And if so, what's taking so long uploading them?

[TheGamerLand]

Andy Dufresnnnnnnnnnnnne

[TKManUTD1989]

[Marcusx1980]

Not a moment too soon that this man recieved the AFI award.

About time I say!!

[adamdyerseve]

OMG he is a magnificent speaker.

[40950999]

When Morgan talks...I feel like God is talking to me.

[93johnk]

@40950999 i think hes already played god in two movies

[osxmaya]

@40950999 Its called `Bruce Almighty` effect.

[deroiste16]

@40950999 I really hope when i go to heaven Morgan Freeman is the guy i run into

[KrashKrazyKash]

@40950999 He was an Awesome God, wasn't he. You know what, I would vote for him as president too. Just his style, and his ways. The way he holds himself. I bet the could do an excellent job. If he ran, I would bet he would win. If Arnold and Jesse can be Governors, this man could be president. Freeman for Pres 2012!!!

[samsonrock777]

@KrashKrazyKash hahaha, great. I'll vote too!

[PHPer]

Well deserved, congratulation mr Freeman !

[TheGamerLand]

@PHPer As much as I like Morgan, if you look at the comment above you, you will see why he had so much success.

[xenafan234]

"Why even right now I'm just sitting in a chair, sipping some tea and reading from a script. The wall is covered in something that resembles egg crates except they're soft and spongy, like a twinkie... like a twinkie."

[MonroeSmile]

What a beautiful moment seeing Sidney Poitier get teary eyed at Freeman's words towards him. Thank you so much for uploading this AFI. Freeman deserved this, he is one of the great actors, and as for his voice- words escape me.

SO NICE TO THANK SYDNEY, ANOTHER GREAT ACTOR!

[poeticjustice2345]

I LOVE YOU MR. FREEMAN

[Looby75MagicFly]

Wonderful speech from Morgan Freeman ;) Truly Magnificent Actor!!

[ludocrat]

Morgan Freeman: a peerless, timeless actor and truly beautiful person.

Heck, if the world really were about to end, his voice would sooth us and make us feel proud to have experienced even just a little bit of it before it all wound down. That's his completely unique gift: wisdom, comfort and goodness, all in the delivery of, and total belief in, the message.

Like all the true American greats, he's a one-off.

[Soap74205]

You know that he's still awesome when he wears an earring at 74, and still looks good

[jarred160788]

This man's brilliance never stops leave me truly speechless.

[theman2017inc]

20 years he stood and paid tribute to Sidney Poitier, Heaven's being in the Movies... Sidney Poitier, I do thank you. Well Morgan Freeman, WE DO THANK YOU!!!!

[davisgreen2020]

[soqueron1]

'I knew at an early age I wanted to act. Acting was always easy for me. I don't believe in predestination, but I do believe that once you get where ever it is you are going, that is where you were going to be.' ~ Morgan Freeman
