On last night's PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARDS, Melissa McCarthy presented Ellen DeGeneres with the award for Favorite Humanitarian, presented by Walgreens. Watch THE TALK show's moving acceptance speech below!

DeGeneres was chosen as this year's honoree in recognition of her tireless efforts to help communities in need and bring awareness to organizations and charities that are making a difference in people's lives. As the recipient of the Favorite Humanitarian Award, DeGeneres has selected St. Jude Children's Research Hospital as the beneficiary of the annual donation presented by Walgreens. Additionally, for every CoverGirl, Pantene, Crest and Oral-B 3DWhite product sold at Walgreens, Walgreens.com, or Duane Reade between Jan. 6 and Jan. 9, Walgreens will make a $1 donation to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

DeGeneres is a 15-time PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARDS winner and a nominee again in 2016 for Favorite Talk Show Host, putting her in contention to become tied for the most People's Choice Award wins in the 42 year history of the franchise.
