American actor Michael J. Foxknown for his iconic role as Marty McFly in the Back to the Future saga, he starred in the most moving episode at the awards BAFTA, after being given a standing ovation.
The 62-year-old interpreter, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991, was recognized by everyone when he was admitted in a wheelchair and with the muscle spasms characteristic of his disease.
Despite notable physical problems, Fox managed to stand up to present the Best Picture category, the ultimate award.
After the applause, he thanked the audience for the reception and named the winner.
The distinction went to Cristopher Nolan’s film, Oppenheimer, which took the seventh award that night.
This is the film inspired by the life and work of the Father of the Atomic Bomb, which competed against Anatomy of a Fall, The Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon and Poor Things.
“They are the best of what we do. No matter who you are or where you are from, these films unite us. There is a reason they say that cinema is magic. Because it can change your day, your perspective and even, sometimes, your life,” the interpreter expressed during his speech before presenting the award.
Fox was also nominated for his documentary The Life of Michael J. Fox, which competed in that category. The award finally went to 20 Days In Mariupol.
