“It’s a little strange to actually get an award for being nice and generous and kind, which is what we’re all supposed to do with one another, that’s the point of being a human.”

Isn’t that just the truth?!? Ellen is amazing.

To honor Ellen DeGeneres for her life-changing work with individuals, communities and organizations, she was awarded the fourth annual People’s Choice Award for Favorite Humanitarian last night.

“I am so honored to be receiving the People’s Choice Humanitarian Award. I think it sums me up perfectly as I am both a human and an itarian.”

The 57-year-old was presented the award by Melissa McCarthy, following a tribute of Ellen’s many charitable moments was played. She really does use her money and position to make a difference.

Hollywood seems to agree as she was given a standing ovation on her way to the stage.
