Brendan Fraser delivered an emotional speech at the Critics Choice Awards...

Brendan Fraser brings everyone to tears

...after winning a major award in the Best Actor category for his performance in the film The Whale.

Fraser, who has been absent from major Hollywood productions for several years, first wanted to thank the actors who accompanied him in The Whale...

...and especially the director of the film, Darren Aronofsky.

"I was in the wilderness, and I probably should have left a trail of breadcrumbs, but you found me" he said.

"And like all the best directors, you merely just showed me where to go to get to where I needed to be," Fraser adds.

Then, in tears, Brendan Fraser then addressed the audience:

"If you're a guy like Charlie, who I played in this movie, and you struggle in some ways with obesity..."

"...or that you feel like you're in a dark sea..."

"I want you to know that if you too can have the strength to get on your feet and go into the light... good things will happen!"
