Announcing Freeman as the Cinema Icon award winner, Managing Director Mitch Neuhauser stated: “As one of the most esteemed actors of our time, Morgan Freeman has portrayed some of the most memorable characters ever to appear on film. From Driving Miss Daisy, Glory, The Shawshank Redemption and Unforgiven to Million Dollar Baby, for which he won an Academy Award, and the recent Batman The Dark Knight Trilogy, Freeman’s presence exudes a dignity, charm and soul unmatched by any other actor. We could not be more honored and privileged to have him be our recipient of the ‘2013 Cinema Icon Award.’”
Freeman will next be seen onscreen in Oblivion with Tom Cruise. He also has a starring role in the 2013 films Now You See Me, coming to theaters on May 31st, and Last Vegas.
