There is such great energy in this room.
You make me feel good, no matter what I'm going through.
I've been going through a lot this year.
I had bronchitis, I almost lost my hair.
[LAUGHING]
But I keep going because of one thing, black market
medicine from Mexico.
[LAUGHING]
And I have a positive attitude.
I like to focus on the positive, not the negative.
And that's why today, I want to celebrate
some of the best things that happened on the show this year.
It's time for the eighth annual Ellen awards.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[APPLAUSE]
Thank you.
[APPLAUSE]
Working on a daytime talk show can be dangerous.
And this first award is for best near-death experience.
May I have the envelope, please?
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Oh.
[INAUDIBLE] is a man.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[LAUGHING]
Best near-death experience is for my writer, Lauren,
for speaking song lyrics to strangers at Walmart.
[LAUGHING]
(SINGING) You can be amazing, you can turn a phrase in--
You can be amazing.
Huh?
You can be amazing.
Oh, thank you.
You can turn the phrase into a weapon or a drug.
Oh, thank you.
Do we have Christmas lights?
You can be the coolest.
Oh, thank you.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Or be the backlash of someone's lack of love.
Come on, let's go.
Is there a problem?
Come on, let's go.
Is there a problem?
Let's go.
No.
Nope.
No.
Let's go.
No problem.
So why are you all up on him?
Let's go.
Come on.
No.
Why are you all up on him?
Sorry.
Bye bye.
Sorry.
(SINGING) I want to see you be brave.
Just want to see you.
I just want to see you.
Didn't think I would die this way.
(SINGING) I want to see you be brave.
Oh, Congratulations Lauren.
[APPLAUSE]
This next award is very competitive.
It's for the most inappropriate thing I saw this year.
May I have the envelope, please?
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[LAUGHING]
[APPLAUSE]
Very pretty.
[LAUGHING]
The winner, my producer, Matt Wright.
Now, before I show you the clip, you
need to know that Matt was supposed
to be playing a kid who wouldn't put down
his iPad during Thanksgiving dinner.
Rehearsal, the iPad was completely turned off,
but then, for the show, Matt decided
to have something on the Instagram
that really surprised me, some stuff
that I had never seen before.
It's not Thanksgiving without some kids at the table.
So next, we have little Pauly right here.
And-- oh!
[LAUGHING]
Oh my.
[LAUGHING]
I-- Oh my god.
[LAUGHING]
How do you like the food?
[LAUGHING]
Oh my god.
[LAUGHING]
OK, Happy Thanksgiving.
Shh!
Oh!
[LAUGHING]
All right.
The next award is for--yeah.
It was quite something.
[APPLAUSE]
Best actress in a trailer for a movie
that she was not actually in.
May I have the envelope, please?
[DRUM ROLL]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[APPLAUSE]
[LAUGHING]
Thanks, Matt.
[LAUGHING]
Am I pretty?
You're so pretty.
[LAUGHING]
Did you own that already?
Is that yours?
[LAUGHING]
The best actress in a trailer for a movie that she
wasn't actually in goes to me for the trailer to "A Star
Is Born."
[LAUGHING]
[APPLAUSE]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
I think you're beautiful.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[LAUGHING]
(SINGING) I'm falling.
Hey, I just want to take another look at you.
[LAUGHING]
(SINGING) In all the good times I
find myself longing for change.
Here's what we're going to do.
We're going to sing that song that I love.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
(SINGING) Ha, oh, ha, oh.
I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive in.
I'll never meet the ground.
We're far from the shallow now.
[APPLAUSE]
Thank you.
[APPLAUSE]
Thank you.
[APPLAUSE]
The final award was also very competitive,
it's for best fall.
May I have the envelope, please?
[DRUM ROLL]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[CHEERING]
[LAUGHING]
I knew it.
I saw that tuxedo on you--
I just had a doctor's appointment.
Uh-huh.
[LAUGHING]
Let's hope you never decide to go this way,
because it's just a--
Totally agree.
OK.
[LAUGHING]
It's a three way tie between Twitch, Andy Zenor,
and Kris Jenner.

Huh.
[SCREAMING] Slow down, slow down!
Slow!
Whoa, whoa, whoa who, whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa, whoa.

I think I wet my pants!
[LAUGHING]

I believe Twitch is here, he is the winner!
