Award-winning entertainment icon Drew Barrymore has received several accolades since the beginning of her career, and now, she has a new award to add to the bunch.
Among the significant honors are a Golden Globe Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, five Emmy Awards, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The famed actress shared a video on Instagram showing her fans the Webby Awards ceremony, where professional makeup artist Patrick Starr presented her the award. Beneath the clip, she wrote:
“@thewebbyawards, I cannot thank you enough for this most gracious honor. I am moved to my core! @thedrewbarrymoreshow #Webbys – And thank you @patrickstarrr I love you!”
Before bestowing her with the medal in the video, Starr declared that he wanted to boast about Barrymore. Then he gave a lengthy citation, crediting the awardee for being a social media giant.
He began, “She’s here tonight; uh, my friend Drew Barrymore is an actor, producer, entrepreneur, and maybe the world’s foremost expert at bringing joy to the internet.”
The award presenter further noted the 47-year-old’s achievements as a host on her show “The Drew Barrymore Show” and as a digital content creator. Her unique touch on everything she creates is much-loved by fans.
He continued, “As an entrepreneur, Drew has demonstrated her innate understanding of how to use the internet to create successful brands such as her beautiful kitchenware line and Flower Beauty.”
Barrymore’s social media presence continues to influence users worldwide positively, and Starr expressed his love for her.
The screen at the event then showed a mashup video of past episodes of Barrymore’s show and several hilarious behind-the-scene shots of her daily routine.
There were also a few snaps of her with notable entertainment stars, including Jennifer Aniston, Sabrina Carpenter, and Keanu Reeves.
Another part of the clip showed famous comedian Adam Sandler calling her magic for making people feel happy every day and expressing how lucky he felt knowing her.
The screen show concluded with a beaming face of the star while the award presenter went on to present the 2022 Webby Social Achievements Award to “the one, the only Drew Barrymore.”
The movie star was pretty excited as she strolled towards the stage to receive the honor while also looking striking in an all-white suit ensemble.
Barrymore has had a lot to celebrate these past few months, with the recent Webby honor she received and CBS’ renewal of her show for another season.
The Blast shared that the talk show host was pretty ecstatic as she announced the good news. She also expressed her gratitude by thanking everyone who helped with the program’s success.
CBS could not be more thrilled to continue their partnership with her as the president of CBS Media Ventures, Steve LoCascio released a statement, noting that the “Charlie’s Angels” actress was a “force of nature.”
In his words, “From Drew’s unique take on everyday news to headline-generating celebrity interviews to lifestyle how-tos, Drew is a force of nature who has brought a fresh, optimistic viewpoint to daytime television.”
Speaking of Barrymore’s celebrity interviews on the show, she showed interest not too long ago in featuring prominent pop princess Britney Spears following the termination of her conservatorship.

The Blast previously reported that the California-born performer recently expressed her intent to have Spears on her program while also admitting that she could relate to Spears’ story.
Barrymore further noted that very few celebrities had experienced what the pop star had and had put up a fight.
In her words, “There’s not a ton of us out there who have publicly lost our freedom, had breakdowns in front of everyone, become punchlines, and fought our way back.”
Spears has not replied to the actress’s proposal; however, it will be her first post-conservatorship television interview if she appears on the show. In addition, it will be a huge achievement for Barrymore’s talk-show career.
The “Poison Ivy” actress never ceased to support the cancellation of the songstress’ conservatorship from the onset as she believed everyone deserved freedom.
She also sent the pop icon encouraging videos during the battle, letting her know she understood what she was going through and was there to support the singer.
