The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has given the award to few deserving recipients over the years since it began in 1956. Oprah share the honor with the likes of Bob Hope, Gregory Peck, Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Paul Newman and Jerry Lewis.
"I never imagined myself receiving an Oscar, especially for what I'm considering my calling," Winfrey said, visibly moved. "Nobody could ever imagine that it would be possible that you could be anything other than a maid, who had some good white folks who would give her clothes and let her take food home for the holiday," she said. "It's unimaginable that I would be standing before you tonight."
