The Annie Hall director was the final speaker of the night.
Actor, producer, photographer, and writer Diane Keaton is this year's recipient of the 45th annual AFI Lifetime Achievement Award.
The ceremony was recorded Thursday (June 8) at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. It's set to air June 15 on TNT.

Between speeches from presenters, organizers rolled video footage of Keaton's various projects, and featured commentary from the artist herself. Many of the clips included her collaborations with director Woody Allen.
"[Woody Allen] can write women better than anyone," Keaton said during the footage. Allen, the 81-year-old Hollywood icon, is a longtime collaborator and friend of Keaton's. He's made limited public appearances since 2014 when his adoptive daughter, Dylan Farrow, wrote an open letter in the New York Times alleging Allen abused her as a child.

An audible gasp went through the room when the final speaker of the night, Allen, was announced. He then took the stage to pay tribute to — and awkwardly roast — Keaton.
