Harrison Ford To Present At The Carney Awards

Actor Harrison Ford is making an extremely rare public appearance on Oct. 28 at Elvis Duran’s 4th Annual Carney Awards. 

The star of the Indiana Jones and Star Wars films will present the Chairman’s Lifetime Achievement award to the legendary character actor, M. Emmett Walsh.  The two of them appeared together in the original Blade Runner movie in 1982. 

Elvis Duran comments, “Harrison Ford!  We’re speechless.” 

David Katz, Elvis Duran Group CEO and executive producer of The Carney Awards adds “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.”
