Headline: Michael J. Fox receives two standing ovations during moving Emmys speech
Caption: The Back to the Future actor was honoured with the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award in recognition of his contributions to Parkinson's disease research and advocacy. The 65-year-old received his first standing ovation as he took the stage at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles in a wheelchair to accept the award from his former The Good Wife co-star Julianna Margulies. During the emotional speech, Fox reflected on keeping his Parkinson's disease diagnosis a secret for several years in the '90s, because he was concerned audiences wouldn't be able to laugh at his sitcom Spin City.
