Ellen DeGeneres Celebrates Wedding Anniversary With Portia de Rossi, Gives a Heartfelt Teen Choice Awards Speech

Talk show host wins Choice Comedian, beating out fellow nominees Jimmy Fallon, Kevin Hart, Jimmy Kimmel, George Lopez and Amy Schumer

To say Ellen DeGeneres had a great weekend is an understatement.

The fun times started Saturday when she promoted Disney-Pixar's Finding Dory at the D23 Expo in Anaheim, Calif. The next day, DeGeneres celebrated seven years of marriage to Portia de Rossi. They chose to revel in their love with fans by hitting up the Teen Choice Awards in L.A. DeGeneres later won Choice Comedian, besting Jimmy Fallon, Kevin Hart, Jimmy Kimmel, George Lopez and Amy Schumer.

Of course, DeGeneres' acceptance speech was both humorous and moving.

"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," DeGeneres joked. "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. 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," DeGeneres, 57, said as the audience laughed and cheered. "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. It's being unique and being who you are. And what an amazing day this is, this is my seven-year wedding anniversary, so happy anniversary."

DeGeneres wife beamed with pride from her front row seat.

After leaving the stage, DeGeneres thanked fans via Twitter and touted The Ellen DeGeneres Show's fall return. "Thank you to all the teens who chose me," she tweeted. "I'll see ya for my Season 13 premiere on September 8th! Peace out, yo."
