Ellen took the title from PETA (People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals) for her work in "raising awareness of their campaigns" and "promoting a lifestyle which is friendly to nature".
"Man of the Year" honors went to Project Runway's fasion guru Tim Gunn.
"Tim Gunn and Ellen DeGeneres show us that one person really can make a difference in the world by rejecting cruel deeds in favour of compassionate acts," says PETA Pres Ingrid Newkirk.

Adding, ""Their message that animals must be treated kindly and respectfully has reached scores of people, and many of them have changed their buying habits, all because Gunn and DeGeneres spoke up for the voiceless."
PETA also added Ellen earned the honors for being vegan and choosing a diet which does not include meat. By choosing to live a dairy-free lifestyle, Ellen was also honored for promoting the movement on her show by inviting experts like Jonathan Safran Foer and Dr. Neal Barnard to talk about going vegan.
Ellen tweeted of the honors saying: "I'm honored PETA named me 'Person of The Year'. I thank them for protecting animals every single day. Amazing." See hot pictures of celebrity vegetarians and vegans!
