Disney Legends honored at ceremony

Disney bestowed "legends" status on 14 artists, including Harrison Ford, Angela Bassett and Miley Cyrus, who have shaped the company.

The honorees, who the company says have had a "significant impact" on Disney's legacy, include director James Cameron, iconic film composer John Williams, Jamie Lee Curtis and Kelly Ripa, among several others.

Cyrus got emotional as she accepted the award after country singer Lainey Wilson warmed the crowd up with a rousing performance of "The Best of Both Worlds" from Cyrus' breakout show, "Hannah Montana."
