A man is blessed with a family sitting up front like that. A wife who is fantastic in every way, who has taught me what love is. Five kids who are braver and stronger and wiser than their old man is. And a loving group of people who have put [away] with me being away months and months and months at a time. Of course, otherwise I wouldn’t be standing here if they didn’t have to put up with that.

The celebrated TV host and comedian arrived on stage to accept the Carol Burnett Award for her outstanding contributions to television and gave a heartfelt — and of course, funny — acceptance speech. She used her time to honor the icon behind the award. “I feel like we all think we know someone when we watch someone on TV for as long as we’re on TV. That’s what it was like for me with Carol Burnett. I feel like I knew her. She showed us who she was every week. She was larger than life. We counted on her to make us feel good, and she delivered, every single week. She never let us down,” DeGeneres said. “She was hilarious in all the sketches that she did, and when she did the Q and A with the audience, she was genuine and personal and I always felt like she was speaking to me,” she added. The star went on to share how grateful she was to inspire those who watch The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “All I’ve ever wanted to do is to make people feel good and to laugh, and there’s no greater feeling than when someone tells me that I’ve made their day better with my show or that I’ve helped them get through a sickness or a hard time in their lives," she continued. "But the real power of television for me is not that people watch my show, but people watch my show and then they’re inspired to do the same thing in their own lives.”

I think we use only one language: the cinema.”

After winning best actress in a miniseries or TV film for Fosse/Verdon, Williams made a powerful speech about amplifying women’s voices. “I’ve tried my very best to live a life of my own making and not just a series of events that happened to me, but one that I can stand back and look at and recognize my handwriting all over,” she said. “Sometimes, messy and scrawling, sometimes careful and precise. But one that I had carved with my own hand, and I wouldn’t have been able to do this without employing a woman’s right to choose.” “To choose when to have my children and with whom, when I felt supported and able to balance our lives, knowing, as all mothers know, the scales must and will tip towards our children,” the actress continued. “Now, I know my choices might look different than yours, but thank God, or whomever you pray to, that we live in a country founded on the principle that I am free to live by my faith and you are free to live by yours.” “So, women 18 to 118, when it is time to vote, please do so in your own self-interest,” Williams concluded. “It’s what men have been doing for years, which is why the world looks so much like them, but don’t forget we are the largest voting body in this country. Let’s make it look more like us.”
