Scream honors Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards tonight by presenting him with the Rock Immortal Award. Johnny Depp, who famously chose to crib the rock legend's eccentric mannerisms for his portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow, did the honors by setting up a tribute video for Captain Sparrow, Sr.
"Once you're up there [on the stage], you're not thinking," Richards opened the video with, as it then charts his ride with the Stones over the years, from the rolling, swinging sixties to present day. "How did you survive?" he is asked in an old interview reel that closes the tribute. The young Richards smiles and shrugs. "I don't know."
Depp followed with a similar quip, pointing out the significance of the "immortal" bit in the award's name.
"Long after humanity incinerates the entire world, the only things left alive are cockroaches... and Keith Richards." With that, the honoree climbed up and accepted the award. Richards kept his acceptance incredibly short, only muttering out a quick thank you before disappearing backstage.
The 2009 Scream Awards will air October 27th at 10PM as a two-hour special on Spike TV.
