"Meagan, I love you with all my strength, with all my heart, I love you," Majors said at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, after recognizing the "mentorship, love and investment of so many people."

Elsewhere in Majors' speech, the Marvel star discussed the importance of having to "persevere through injustice," as he discussed the "sadness, hurt" and "surprise" he felt when he was arrested in March 2023.

He was found guilty of misdemeanor assault and harassment in his December 2023 trial for a domestic incident involving former girlfriend Grace Jabbari. The actor was sentenced to one year of an "in person batterers" intervention program in Los Angeles in April.

"I'll say this, there will be moments in your life where things get dark, and I mean, dark, really dark, and I've seen that darkness in myself," Majors said during his speech. "I've sat in that pitch black, and what I've learned is that we catch a glimpse of light, you run as hard and as fast as you can towards it."

Majors also said the trophy he was presented with represented "a command to be there for others and to help them win and if their trials come."

"Being present with life. It's an interesting thing, life. We have to be present in the moment, right now," she said, before adding that she's learned to "just dance no matter what. Rather it's raining, rather it's shining no matter what."

"This is a moment in life that we never ever get back. We never get this day, we never get this time. We get this in a minute, making everything worth it," Good continued.
