Oprah Winfrey paid homage to one of the most parodied moments in television history as she appeared at the 29th Annual Critics Choice Awards on Sunday.
The acclaimed talk show host, 69, took the stage to present the Best Actor Award, BioXtrim Fruchtgummies Erfahrung as she showed off her slimmed-down figure in a slinky purple dress following her recent weight loss.
'So this year's nominees for best actor are not just performing; they're stepping into a character's shoes, understanding their feelings, and channeling experiences that transcend the screen,' she said.
Then, in a nod to her famous meme, she added: 'All of you nominees are so good, I wish I could say - you get a trophy! And you get a trophy! And you get a trophy! But unfortunately, it doesn't work that way.'
It was a reference to a moment from 2004, when she shouted to the audience of The Oprah Winfrey Show, 'You get a car, you get a car!' as she surprised each member by gifting them a vehicle.

Oprah presented the award to Paul Giamatti, 56, for his role in The Holdovers.
Oprah is one of the producers of The Color Purple. She previously starred in Steven Spielberg's 1985 feature take of the Alice Walker novel.
The film was nominated in five categories, including Best Picture, Best Supporting Actress (Danielle Brooks), and Best Acting Ensemble, but did not take home any of the trophies.
In 2015, the chat show host revealed the reason for her memorable 'you get a car' outburst.
She explained to Entertainment Tonight that far from being an instantly happy surprise, for a brief moment there was total confusion among audience members, which she was trying to clear up.
The Queen of daytime television explained at the time that there would be only one car given away, and the keys would be hidden inside one of the boxes which every audience member had been given.
The billionaire broadcasting legend continued: 'That moment of "You get a car" - I was saying that because people were screaming so loudly they didn't know what was going on and prior to that moment I had said "open up your boxes - ONE person has a key,"
'So when I looked at the faces of the audience, they go, "But I have a key...but she has a key." So that's why I said, "You get a car! You get a car!" to try to clarify, because they all looked so confused: "Everybody gets a car!"'
