Freaking Han Solo At Carney Awards!
• Superstar Harrison Ford is making an extremely rare public appearance this Sunday, Oct. 28 at Elvis Duran‘s 4th Annual Carney Awards at The Broad Stage in Santa Monica, CA. The star of the Indiana Jones and Star Wars films will present the Chairman’s Lifetime Achievement Award to legendary character actor M. Emmett Walsh, who appeared with Ford in Ridley Scott‘s groundbreaking 1982 film, Blade Runner. Elvis commented, simply, “Harrison Ford! We’re speechless.”
David Katz, CEO of the Elvis Duran Group CEO and Executive Producer of The Carney Awards, said, “If Art Carney wasn’t enough to validate the amazing actors we honor, having Harrison Ford help honor them adds a credibility we only fantasized about when we created this show. We are honored and humbled.”
In addition to Walsh, this year’s class of honorees includes Joe Morton, Jessica Walter, Joe Pantoliano, James Cromwell and Bruce Greenwood. Comedian Patton Oswalt will host the evening’s program. There are limited tickets remaining, and they are complimentary to radio industry members. Please RSVP directly by 5pm PT Thurs., Oct. 25 to RSVPCarneyAwards@gmail.com. The red carpet begins at 3pm, and the televised show begins promptly at 5pm with a cocktail reception to follow.
