Morgan Freeman picked up the prize for Favourite Movie Icon at the 2012 «People's Choice Awards» in Los Angeles on Wednesday night
In his acceptance speech, the veteran actor said: «I hope I represent a working actor who is so incredibly proud to be in this business, humbled and honoured to be mentioned in the same company as my fellow nominees, and forever grateful for this honour». The event kicks off Hollywood's awards season but unlike the Oscars or Golden Globes, the People's Choice is voted for completely by the fan.
