The gong, an honorary Oscar, is for those who have “brought credit to the industry” and was awarded in recognition of the star founding the Michael J. Fox Foundation in 2000 to fund research into the condition he lives with.
Michael looked dapper on the red carpet in a black suit, white shirt and black tie.
