Ellen DeGeneres applauds the 'power of television' during her GoldenGlobes speech
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Ellen DeGeneres, the stand-up comedian who broke barriers for gays to become one of the most popular people on television, received a Golden Globes lifetime achievement award on Sunday.
DeGeneres, 61, was the second person to be given the Carol Burnett Award, which was established by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association a year ago to recognize the new Golden Age of television in the United States. "All I've ever wanted to do is make people feel good and laugh," DeGeneres said on stage as she accepted the award."There is no greater feeling than when someone tells me I made their day better with my show."
DeGeneres said she was especially gratified by viewers who watched her current talk show and were then inspired to encourage and support people in their own lives.Let our news meet your inbox. The news and stories that matters, delivered weekday mornings.
