"When Ellen DeGeneres was given the Carol Burnett Award during the Golden Globe Awards, Kate McKinnon put into words why DeGeneres was being honored.

Everyone was touched by Kate's deep admiration for Ellen. It was obvious she had been in awe of her idol, ever since she was a teenager. She attributed Ellen's coming out with her own. Ellen opened the door, making it easier for others to do the same.
Ellen also shed a few tears as she talked about Carol Burnett. Carol was in the audience, glowing with pride and perhaps a little embarrassment at all of the compliments she was receiving.
Clearly, this was an emotional time for all.
