His gifts to the cultural record are also underscored by his unmistakable voice that echoes through the hearts and minds of movie lovers around the world.” That is true. Which is why we’re starting this petition to have Morgan Freeman narrate at least one of the montages that will be shown that evening. Sign it below.
As a thank you, we have once again embedded “The Full Shawshank Experience” clip from Cougar Town below. Still funny.
