Surrounded by a host of friends and family, Lawrence was visibly emotional throughout the ceremony, admitting that he had been crying all week in anticipation of the event.

He encouraged those following in his footsteps to board their "dream bus" with confidence, grace, and humility, and to keep riding until the wheels fall off. The ceremony was a fitting tribute to a talented actor who has brought so much laughter and joy to fans around the world.
