At the same awards ceremony, Vin Diesel, also dished some about the Furious 7 sequel, while accepting the win for Choice Action/Adventure movie for Furious 7.

While thanking the fans and remembering Paul Walker, Diesel let slip what could be an important detail about the sequel to Furious 7. He referred to the upcoming eighth installment of the series as Fast 8. This could very well be the official title of the next film, following Furious 7's great success.

Diesel dedicated the award to Walker's memory, and the fact that he was family to all of them.

"I can't stand here and be rewarded like this without talking about somebody very, very, very important to us. One of the best blessings in our lives is the fact that we had the opportunity to call Pablo our brother. Paul Walker is here in spirit with us."

And while signing off, the actor called the sequel Fast 8: "I love all of you. I love all of you, and until Fast 8..."
