Ellen DeGeneres Won A Teen Choice Award And Her Speech Will Make You Feel Things

"I wanna say also it feels good to be chosen but there was a time in my life that I was not chosen."

Ellen DeGeneres won the Choice Comedian Award Sunday night because well, duh, she's Ellen DeGeneres and America's National Treasure.

STOP BEING SO CUTE.

Of course, Ellen's speech was ON FIRE. She started out by saying there were "some hilarious people" in her category and then cracked a joke about that surfboard trophy.

Fox

"And it's convenient, I was on my way to the beach, I had forgotten my surfboard so this will come in handy."

And the jokes kept rolling.

Fox

"They say teens make bad decisions but you made a very good decision tonight by choosing me. That was smart."

But Ellen also used her time to give everyone some pitch-perfect words of wisdom, saying, "I wanna say also it feels good to be chosen but there was a time in my life that I was not chosen."

Fox

"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."

PREACH IT, SISTER ELLEN.

Fox

"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."

Then, because our hands weren't raw enough from clapping so hard, Ellen gave an adorable shoutout to wife Portia.

Fox

"And what an amazing day this is, this is my 7-year wedding anniversary, so happy anniversary."

Here's her full speech:

Wow, thank you so much. I'm honored 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 what matters. It's being unique and being who you are.

And what an amazing day this is, this is my 7-year wedding anniversary, so happy anniversary.
