Just because you won an award doesn't mean you can't criticise it.

On Sunday, Morgan Freeman picked up a Lifetime Achievement Award at the SAGs.

He had some no-nonsense feedback about the statue, though:

Here's a close-up of said statue. It does look pretty masculine, doesn't it?

Freeman's comments were well-received on Twitter.

As an added bonus, he even paused his speech at one point to call out someone in the crowd for not paying attention.

Such a badass.
