VivaOke-What do you wanna do tonight, Ernie?
To accept the Screen Actors Guild award for lifetime achievement was perhaps far more glamorous than Ernest Borgnine's most famous character — the humble butcher Marty Piletti — could have possibly dreamed.
Borgnine, a World War II veteran, is still acting.
"Comedy is just part of this man's wonderful career," said his "McHale's Navy" co-star, Tim Conway, who introduced him Sunday.
Morgan Freeman, who appeared with him in "Red," presented a misty-eyed Borgnine the award, pronouncing the old adage: "Life is what you make of it."
The 94-year-old Borgnine was honored for a film and television career spanning 70 years. He won an Oscar for his lead role as a socially awkward bachelor in 1955's "Marty," and remains active in showbusiness.
He tearfully recalled how his mother first asked him if he ever thought about becoming an actor after he returned home from World War II.
