Rosie O'Donnell Receives Special Tony Award - Watch Her Acceptance Speech!

Rosie O’Donnell hits the stage to accept an award at the 2014 Tony Awards on Sunday evening (June 8) at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

The 52-year-old entertainer, who was joined by her love Michelle Rounds, was the recipient of the 2014 Isabelle Stevenson Tony Award for her work with Rosie’s Theater Kids and bringing theater to young kids around New York City.

“I was stunned, number one, and then my second thought was, ‘Please tell me it looks like a real Tony,’” Rosie previously said about her win. “Whenever anyone comes to my house, I’m going to tell them this was for Best Performance by an Actress in a Musical, and I was against Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel… but I won… It’s a huge thrill and great honor and probably the only way I’ll ever get a Tony in my life, but it’s good enough for me.”
