'I was in the wilderness and I probably should have left a trail of breadcrumbs, but you found me,' Indy native Brendan Fraser said from the stage.
Fraser said"The Whale" is about "finding the light in a dark place" and urged those suffering emotionally to take heart."For anyone like Charlie, who struggles with obesity, or for anyone who just feels like you are in a dark sea: I want you to know that you too have the strength to just get to your feet and go to the light. And good things will happen.". With tears in his eyes, he replied, "More than I know how to say in words.
Jeff Bridges channeled his famed character The Dude from"The Big Lebowski" when accepting his lifetime achievement award at the Critics Choice Awards. Looking at the critics' trophy onstage, Bridges joked,"The Dude would say of this, 'Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.' But I dig your opinion. I love this."
Bridges, who was also nominated for best actor for his role in FX's drama "The Old Man," acknowledged he had to research his many career roles before accepting the lifetime award.
