Helen Mirren, Octavia Spencer, Jeff Bridges and Shawn Levy also took part in Thursday night's event, where Jason Blum was recognized as well.
With the couple’s two oldest daughters in attendance and currently pregnant with their fourth child, Lively noted how the star has always had something in him that has beckoned him home, starting from when he first moved to L.A. to pursue acting and would drive home to Canada every weekend.
“That man races back to his real life like nothing I have ever seen, especially not by someone who is able to be so all-in in his work life,” she continued. “He’s able to somehow be everything to everyone all at once; he is the most present person you will ever meet. And yes he creates magic in his work, but man oh man does he create magic in his real life.
He also had some kind words, though, saying, “Ryan Rodney Reynolds, or Ry-Rod, as you are affectionately called by your fans, you are an incredibly talented actor, filmmaker, businessman, but more importantly you’re just a great guy and I’m lucky to be able to call you a friend.”Hayek, Mirren, Jackman, Jeff Bridges and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sent in video messages, and Spencer, Nathan Fillion, Mary Steenburgen and Rob McElhenney served as in-person presenters.
