At 51, Tom Cruise shows no signs of aging, always wearing his signature smile. When he received the award, he said: "My life is quite incredible, my life is rich, all because I work with a group of amazing people. There are so many people I need to thank, I might have to count for hours, or even days, to finish thanking everyone." Hugh Jackman, who won the "Empire Icon Award", humorously said: "This is a huge surprise, having Tom Cruise, Emma, and Arnold Schwarzenegger in the same venue is just too extravagant! But thank you all."
Emma won Best Actress for "The Dreamers" and maintained her usual humor when she took the stage, first saying: "I have so many people to thank, but none of them are here, so I won't bother!" Referring to her husband of over 10 years, she humorously said: "My husband is here, and I have a lot to thank him for, first of all, thank you for telling me that there was a big hole in the back of my dress."
