In a monologue that received big laughs from those in attendance, Allen likened Keaton to All About Eve's Eve Harrington, joking that he didn't mean to suggest that she was "ruthlessly ambitious" but that when a young Keaton meant to refer to him as a talented young director, she "instead called me a stepping stone."

“Her beauty is not conventional -- by conventional, I mean pleasing to the eye," he cracked. "She's never succumed to any face work or anything... she prefers to look old."

As for Keaton's speech, the legendary actress decided to go into a musical direction, breaking out into a performance of "Seems Like Old Times."
