Vin Diesel paid an emotional tribute to his late, long-time friend Paul Walker Wednesday night while accepting a pair of People’s Choice awards for “Furious 7.”<br />“As I was coming over here, I always do this, I say I’m not going to get emotional about winning these awards,” he said.<br />“I was cool while I was sitting in my seat, and then they handed me two awards.<br />One for favorite action movie and one for favorite film.<br />You all thought that this was your favorite film.<br />So I think of Dom and Brian and I start to think of Paul.”<br />“My only message to you is you’d be amazed what you can do with love -- you’d be amazed how powerful a force that is,” Diesel said.<br />He thanked the fans and the cast and crew behind “Furious 7” before breaking into a verse from Wiz Khalifa’s “See You Again.”
