A group of top filmmakers and actors gathered over the weekend to honor Francis Ford Coppola as he received the 50th AFI Lifetime Achievement Award in Hollywood.

At 86, Coppola joins a list of directors like Alfred Hitchcock, Martin Scorsese, and Mel Brooks to receive the recognition. Present at Saturday night’s event were Adam Driver, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman, Spike Lee, Harrison Ford, Diane Lane, and Ralph Macchio, who all celebrated the prestigious award presented by Steven Spielberg and George Lucas.

“‘The Godfather,’ for me, is the greatest American film ever made,” Spielberg told Coppola, according to Vanity Fair. “You are peerless.

And I always want to make you proud of my work,” he added before introducing Lucas to the stage.
