Frost favourite Angelina Jolie became the youngest ever winner of the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award in an emotional night on Saturday. She flew in from Australia, where she is directing Unbroken, to receive the award.

She took along fiancee Brad Pitt and her, now scarily grown up, son Maddox. I remember him when he was just a toddler. Yikes!

She made an emotional tribute to her family, saying: “My love. Your support and your guidance make everything I do possible.”

“I’m not going to cry, I promise,” Jolie said to Maddox from the stage. “I’m not going to embarrass you. You and your brothers and sisters are my happiness and there is no greater honor in this world than being your mom.”

“I will do as my mother asked and I will do the best I can with this life to be of use, and to stand here today means I did as she asked and if she were alive she’d be very proud, so thank you.”

Do you find Angelina Jolie inspirational?
