Woody Harrelson to present Harrison Ford with Life Achievement Award at Actor Awards 2026

Woody Harrelson presents Harrison Ford with the SAG-AFTRA Life Achievement Award at the 2026 Actor Awards, honoring Ford's iconic career.

"I am deeply honoured to be chosen... To be acknowledged by my fellow actors means a great deal to me. - Harrison Ford"

Los Angeles, February 28

In what can be described as a full-circle for Hollywood, actor Woody Harrelson will be presenting the Life Achievement Award to 'Indiana Jones' star Harrison Ford at the upcoming Actor Awards.

As per The Hollywood Reporter, Harrelson will take the stage to present the SAG-AFTRA's highest honour to Ford during the 32nd annual awards ceremony, which is set to take place at the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall in Los Angeles.

While the Hollywood actors have not appeared together in a film, they do share an onscreen connection as Harrelson featured in 'Solo: A Star Wars Story', a prequel to Ford's character, Han Solo.

Speaking on the honour, Harrison Ford previously expressed deep gratitude.

"I am deeply honoured to be chosen as this year's recipient of the SAG-AFTRA Life Achievement Award. To be acknowledged by my fellow actors means a great deal to me. I've spent most of my life on film sets, working alongside incredible actors and crews, and I've always felt grateful to be part of this community," added Ford as quoted by Variety.

According to the outlet, the award is given annually to an actor who exemplifies the "finest ideals of the acting profession," including past recipients such as Mary Tyler Moore, Sidney Poitier, Betty White, Jane Fonda, Robert De Niro, Elizabeth Taylor, and James Earl Jones.

"Harrison Ford is a singular presence in American life; an actor whose iconic characters have shaped world culture," SAG-AFTRA President Sean Astin said.

In a career spanning over three decades, Ford's work includes blockbusters like the 'Star Wars' and 'Indiana Jones' franchises, as well as hits such as 'Air Force One,' 'The Fugitive' and 'What Lies Beneath.'

Nominations for the 32nd Screen Actors Guild Awards (SAG Awards), now officially known as the Actor Awards 2026, have been already announced with Leonardo DiCaprio-starrer 'One Battle After Another' emerging as the most-nominated film of the year.

The ceremony is scheduled to take place on March 1, just two weeks ahead of the 98th Academy Awards.

It's a nice gesture, but sometimes these lifetime awards feel like they're given a bit late. His peak was decades ago. Still, an iconic career no doubt.

Harrison Ford's movies were a staple in our household. My dad is a huge fan. It's heartwarming to see such legends honouring each other. Woody presenting is a cool touch given the Star Wars connection!

While I appreciate his work, I do wish our Indian film industry veterans got similar global recognition and fanfare. We have legends like Amitabh Bachchan and Rajinikanth with careers just as long and impactful.

A well-deserved accolade for a man who defined adventure cinema. His humility in the statement is genuine class. The man is Indiana Jones and Han Solo. That's legacy right there.
