Since blasting onto the scene, Adele has earned a lengthy list of accolades.
And the latest was bestowed on the British belter this week at The Hollywood Reporter’s annual Women in Entertainment Gala.
There, the 35-year-old was presented with The Sherry Lansing Leadership Award.
Established in honor of Lansing (the first woman to head up a Hollywood studio), the award commemorates trailblazers and philanthropists in entertainment and media.
Suffice it to say, Adele is an oh-so-apt recipient.
Ever witty and ever candid, the songbird’s acceptance speech paired her trademark humor with heartfelt appreciation for many – including Lansing, the army of strong women in her life, and her manager.
Watch after the jump…
Heartfelt and hilarious. Got to love Ms. Adkins!
