Oscar
Actor Michael J. Fox, protagonist of the film “Back to the Future”, received an honorary Oscar on Saturday for his campaign to raise funds for research into Parkinson's disease, a neurodegenerative disease that has affected the actor for decades.
Fox received the award for his humanitarian work at a gala ceremony in Los Angeles, attended by major movie stars. “You’re making me tremble, stop it,” joked Fox as he received a standing ovation from the audience. He said this is a “totally unexpected honor.”

In 1991, at the age of 29, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's and doctors said he would have a 10-year career due to the disease, which affects motor functions. Fox retired from acting in 2020. In recent months, he suffered multiple fractures and injuries from falls and on Saturday was able to walk to the stage, but had to ask his wife, Tracy Pollan, for help to carry the award. (With AFP)
