During the 2012 Golden Globe Awards Morgan Freeman was presented with the Cecil B. DeMille aware for career achievement.
As is standard practice the Hollywood Foreign Press Association put together some of the actors most memorable clips including The Shawshank Redemption, Invictus and Driving Miss Daisy. However it may not have been the “classics” he starred in that earned him the biggest notice of the night.
Near the end of the Morgan Freeman presentation he was shown dressed as a vampire, sopaing himself down inside a casket for the 1974 TV series The Electric Company.
In case you missed this odd, silly bit here it is:
Obviously the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has plenty of respect for Morgan Freeman or they wouldn’t have given him the award, it’s just nice to know that they can also have a sense of humor about their own show. After all the Golden Globes are the laid back Academy Awards.
What do you think about the Morgan Freeman casket presentation?

The morgan freeman video tribute to the celebrity was both awesome and hillarious and it is because of shows like the Electric Company that not only did many kids learn how to read and write as well as be able to spell but it was because of shows like this that new celebrities got their shot at media exposure. mind you its not as glamourous as what celebs do these days but still it helped them career wise in the past and that is what really matters.

Good actor, total wingnut outside of acting though!
