Well done Mike Meyers, and for the rest of us, RIP SIR Sean Connery. Actors like him come along once in a generation. Glad I grew up when I did and got to see his work.

[@steven49leung]

The tribute was genuine and heart--felt, Mike Myers mentioning of his father at the end really touched Sean Connery, you can tell Mike Myers was pretty emotional at the end also, twitching his fingers, he was holding back tears. If you watch Sean Connery's acceptance speech, on his way to the podium, he stopped by Mike Myers and said a few words to him, and patted him on his shoulders, that tells you how much Sean Connery appreciated what Mike said. Well done, Mike!!

I know Mike will never be considered a legend like Sean Connery, but I hope someday he is recognized for the significant influence he had on an entire generation of people. I mean think throughout the 90's and 2000's how many people quoted or referenced his movies, even if they were just goofy comedies. Austin Powers alone took the entire world by storm. For years you wouldn't have gone hardly a day without hearing someone reference it. Even to this day I still hear people say "I'll just Austin Powers it" and I know exactly what they mean even though it only refers to probably a 5 second clip out of the whole film. He was the modern day Peter Sellers.
