Simon Baker wins 2017 AACTA Trailblazer Award - Speech Click for source and HQ video.

The actor paid tribute to his better half Rebecca Rigg as he took to the stage to accept his award.

"The truth is, you know, there are ups and downs and there are struggles," the 48-year-old said. "I was very fortunate to meet a fantastic woman and we created a great life together."

He continued to gush about his wife saying they had created "great success" together and that everything he had achieved was down to her.

"Because yes I am the front man babe but you are the rocking rhythm section and you know that," he said.

The award winner finished his speech telling his wife Bec, "I'm looking forward to for the next part of our lives together and our lives within this industry."

 Simon Baker to be named 2017 Trailblazer at acting awards  

SIMON Baker describes his career trajectory as more of a meander than a meteor. 

But he’s more than happy to accept the honour of being named the 2017 Trailblazer at Australian film and television’s biggest night.

“I’ve never been the person that steps up to bat and hits a century, I’ve had a lot of ducks and I am OK with that,” Baker said.

“I feel like the word trailblazer suggests meteoric, like a comet flying through the air with a blazing trail and I feel anything but that in real life. There has been meanderings and wanderings.”
