At last night's Teen Choice Awards, Ellen DeGeneres picked up the Choice Comedian Award - and used the opportunity to be both funny and sincere - an excellent combination if you ask us.
Ellen started out by thanking the people who voted: "Wow, thank you so much. I'm honoured to be in that category, there were some hilarious people and so thank you very much and what a coincidence - and it's convenient - I was on my way to the beach, I had forgotten my surfboard so this will come in handy. I'll put it on top of my car."
LOLZ, Ellen. She then praised her voters for making the right choice.
"I wanna say right now that I am pro-Teen Choice, just wanna get that out there, and you know they say teens make bad decisions but you made a very good decision tonight by choosing me that was smart, smart, smart. All of you."
But then, wham, she makes you want to tear up…
"I wanna say also it feels good to be chosen but there was a time in my life that I was not chosen. I was the opposite of chosen because I was different, and I think I wanna make sure that everyone knows that what makes you different right now, makes you stand out later in life. So you should be proud of being different, proud of who you are."
Then Ellen gave us a little more humour…
"I won a People's Choice Award, I would think that teens would be in that category. I don't know why teens are not in the "people" category but if they're breaking it down, I'd like an award from the elderly and babies - if that's going to happen - to cover everybody."
And just like a rollercoaster, she ended it with the best bit…
"The most important thing I wanna say is just really embrace who you are because being unique is very, very important and fitting in is not all that matters. It's being unique and being who you are."
And if that doesn't make you want to give her a hug, she told everyone that it was her seventh wedding anniversary to wife Portia De Rossi.
"And what an amazing day this is, this is my 7-year wedding anniversary, so happy anniversary."
Ellen, we salute you.
