00:48 Oh, it was a moment as the Friends star presented Barbara with the Life

00:54 Achievement Award. Barbara's music was always playing in my house growing up

00:58 and I remember so vividly the first time I heard that voice. I mean that voice. I

01:04 this feeling just washed over my entire body. My eyes just welled up with tears

01:10 and from that moment on I was madly in love with Barbara. But Jen wasn't the

01:16 only one who got to gush about Babs on stage. As Bradley Cooper, who starred in

01:21 A Star is Born, like Barbara in the 1976 version of the film, made a surprise

01:26 appearance. Barbara, you stopped at nothing in your pursuit of realizing

01:30 your brilliant visions. We are so pleased to be here tonight to see you honored

01:46 fabulous honor and to say to my fellow actors and directors, I've loved working

01:53 with you, playing with you, and inhabiting that magical world of the

02:00 movies with you. And most of all, I want to thank you for giving me so much joy
