A magical icon honored in the heart of Hollywood: the American Film Institute (AFI) presented the 48th AFI Life Achievement Award to Julie Andrews at a Gala Tribute. TNT premiered the special, The 48th AFI Life Achievement Award: A Tribute to Julie Andrews, on Thursday, June 16 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT, with an encore at 11:30 p.m. and an additional encore on Turner Classic Movies on Friday, July 15 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT.
A Story by Award Winning Managing Editor His Highness Dr. Prince Mario-Max zu Schaumburg-Lippe.
Carol Burnett, Steve Carell, Bo Derek, Hector Elizondo, Cynthia Erivo, Jane Seymour, Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, Brandi Burkhardt and cast members from The Sound of Music – Angela Cartwright, Duane Chase, Nicholas Hammond, Kym Karath and Debbie Turner – came together to honor Andrews‘ incredible career and celebrate the joy she has brought to audiences around the world. Welcome remarks were made by Bob Gazzale, AFI President and CEO. Oscar-winning writer and director of CODA, Sian Heder, received the 2022 Franklin J. Schaffner Alumni Medal, saying: „AFI taught me that directing is a state of curiosity and learning. The solving of problems is where the art lives.“
Tributes From Six Decades of Friends
The evening featured tributes and speeches from Carol Burnett, Steve Carell, Gwen Stefani, Hector Elizondo and Jane Seymour, and taped messages from Dick Van Dyke, Anne Hathaway, Ariana DeBose, Hugh Jackman, Kristin Chenoweth, Kelly Clarkson, Nicola Coughlan and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Bo Derek, recalling the film 10 with Julie Andrews and Blake Edwards, said: „Blake and Julie made seven films together. And as impressive as that is, it’s nothing compared to their 41 years of marriage. And for me and for all of us, what they had onscreen and off, was a perfect 10.“ Gwen Stefani, whose song Wind It Up samples The Lonely Goatherd from The Sound of Music, said: „I would not be me without the inspiration of Julie Andrews. You have brought so much joy into my life and to all of our lives. Thank you for your ’sound of music.'“ Cynthia Erivo performed a moving rendition of Edelweiss, Julie’s favorite song from The Sound of Music.
In honoring her friend of six decades, Carol Burnett said: „This award is so very much deserved. She has constantly given us her all. And her ‚all‘ is awe-inspiring. Congratulations, chum.“ Accepting the award, Andrews said: „This night reminds me with great clarity how many people are involved with making movies. What a huge collaborative effort it takes to bring film to the screen. My husband Blake never liked when people referred to filmmaking as the business or an industry. He insisted that film was an art form and should always be called that. And I know that is exactly the way the AFI feels also.“

Der Abend bot Würdigungen von Carol Burnett, Steve Carell, Gwen Stefani, Héctor Elizondo und Jane Seymour sowie Videobotschaften von Dick Van Dyke, Anne Hathaway, Ariana DeBose, Hugh Jackman, Kristin Chenoweth, Kelly Clarkson, Nicola Coughlan und Lin-Manuel Miranda. Bo Derek erinnerte an den Film 10 mit Julie Andrews und Blake Edwards: Blake und Julie hätten sieben Filme zusammen gemacht – nichts im Vergleich zu ihren 41 Ehejahren; was sie auf und abseits der Leinwand hatten, sei eine perfekte 10 gewesen. Gwen Stefani, deren Song Wind It Up The Lonely Goatherd aus The Sound of Music sampelt, sagte: „I would not be me without the inspiration of Julie Andrews.“ Cynthia Erivo sang eine bewegende Version von Edelweiss, Julies Lieblingslied aus The Sound of Music.
Carol Burnett, die ihre Freundin seit sechs Jahrzehnten ehrt, sagte: „This award is so very much deserved. She has constantly given us her all. And her ‚all‘ is awe-inspiring. Congratulations, chum.“ Bei der Annahme des Preises sagte Andrews: Diese Nacht erinnere sie mit großer Klarheit daran, wie viele Menschen am Filmemachen beteiligt sind; ihr Mann Blake habe Film nie als Business oder Industrie bezeichnet wissen wollen – Film sei eine Kunstform, und genau so sehe es auch das AFI.
