In her speech, she credited the women in her life for helping her overcome tough times, including her recent separation from ex-husband Marc Anthony.

My grandmother, who taught me to cook and not be afraid to serve and be humble. And to go out looking nice because people like that and then they respect you, Lopez said.

Lopez received the All-Star award, according to Contact Music. Handler was given the Queen of Late Night award.
