Being awarded the Cecil B. deMille award is a wonderful honor, and Jeff Bridges made sure to give us one wondrous speech. From Chris Pine giving the award to Bridges, to Jeff Bridges getting up and talking about making a boat (? we’re still not sure), the entire interaction threw Twitter for a loop and those watching loved every moment of it.
Jeff Bridges has been around for quite some time and, if anything, Bradley Cooper owes him a lot.

Most of the responses were about how Bridges would be our cool family member we actually enjoy hanging out with.
Jeff Bridges is your fun uncle who tells you long and confusing stories but you can’t help laughing while he does it and Harrison Ford is your sad uncle you avoid after he’s had too many drinks because he always rants about his divorce

Or maybe we just all wish he was our uncle.
jeff bridges is always channeling your most fun uncle that smoked you out for the first time and i am grateful for that kind of consistency

It may be because his speech literally went on for fifteen minutes and he was talking about a boat?
I’m told that Jeff Bridges’ speech actually counts as a third TRON movie

Twitter was also quite in love with how in love Jeff Bridges was with his wife.

Don’t we all want to be on the same level as Jeff Bridges?
Jeff Bridges is whatever you think CBD is doing for you.

Even if, at that level, your best friend is your sibling.

But, you know who loved Jeff Bridges the most? Chris Pine.
If I were Chris Pine, I would take Jeff Bridges by the face and give him a beautiful and lasting kiss on the mouth.

Truly, the entire time Bridges was speaking, Chris Pine just stared at him as if he was looking at himself later in life.
Is Chris Pine trying to… become? … Jeff Bridges? Is he under the impression this is a biopic? Is he auditioning?
— Sady Doyle (@sadydoyle) January 7, 2019
He literally just had heart eyes when Bridges started talking about making his own boat.

And then we all began to theorize what was going on with Pine and Bridges.
Is
Is Jeff Bridges just Chris Pine from the future
— Kristin Chirico (@lolacoaster) January 7, 2019
Or perhaps Jeff Bridges is secretly Chris Pine’s dad.
is…. jeff bridges chris pine’s dad?
— Julia Moser (@juliamoserrrr) January 7, 2019
No matter what, Chris Pine—like the rest of us—is just very proud of Jeff Bridges.
