Matthew Broderick presented his wife of nearly 30 years, Sarah Jessica Parker, with the Carol Burnett Award for a life of achievement in television at Tuesday’s Golden Eve, a ceremony that also added Helen Mirren to the list of legends that have won the Cecil B. DeMille Award.
Broderick suggested if she’d listened to him, it might not have happened.
“Do you really want to do TV?” the actor recalled asking Parker when she was first presented with the script for her career-making role as Carrie Bradshaw on “Sex and the City” in the 1990s. She would go on to win six Golden Globes and two Emmys.
Accepting the award, Parker said, “It has been a privilege and a dream to call myself an actor.”

Golden Eve is a new separate ceremony for the honorary career awards.
“The DeMille Award was described to me as a career recognition,” Mirren said from the stage. “But I prefer to think of it as a life lived, a life survived, a life enjoyed, a life sweated, and a life carried on, hopefully. And given that hope, I prefer to think of this as an ongoing reflection of my career rather than a eulogy.”
Harrison Ford, who won the DeMille Award in 2002, presented this year’s edition to Mirren, his co-star in 1985’s “The Mosquito Coast” and on the current “1923.”
He called her “an undeniable screen presence who brings to every scene a powerful commitment to narrative and character. And when she goes full badass, it’s awesome to watch.”
