Last year's recipient, Matthew McConaughey, did the honors of presenting his Mud co-star with the award. "The roles you were the most passionate about are the ones that resonate the most today," he noted, referring to Legally Blonde, Election, Wild and Walk the Line on stage.
"This whole experience is just overwhelming and unbelievable, because I'm literally just a girl from Nashville who had a big dream," Reese said during her acceptance speech.
Big dreams, indeed! Reese is the first female to win the award since Julia Roberts in 2007, preceded by Nicole Kidman in 2003, Jodie Foster in 1999, and Bette Midler in 1987.
Reese's mini-me, Ava, took to Instagram to share a sweet pic of her and her mom from inside the event, simply captioning it, "Congrats! #specialnight."
