Ellen wasn't all jokes and laughs at the ceremony, however. The three-time Golden Globe nominee also took the chance to bring awareness to Australia and its animals during its tragic wildfires. "Australia, I love you. My heart goes out to everyone who is suffering in Australia, all the animals that we've lost," the animal advocate said.

Portia and Ellen have several animals themselves including dogs, cats and horses. The most recent addition to their big brood of animals is Mrs. Wallis Browning, an adorable brown standard poodle rescue, who joined the family just a few months ago in September.

On the occasion of Ellen's 60th birthday, her wife also gifted her the Ellen DeGeneres Wildlife Fund, which aims to protect and advocate for the world's most vulnerable animals.

Before finding forever love with Portia, Ellen dated some famous bisexual and lesbian Hollywood stars, and you're likely familiar with a few of their names. The comedian was linked to movie producer Teresa Boyd during her time still in the closet, then dated Anne Heche for three years after coming out as a lesbian on national television.

Between Anne Heche and Portia was another girlfriend, actress and photographer Alexandra Hedison, who some might recognize as Jodie Foster's current wife.
