LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Kathy Griffin may have been a big winner at the 20th Annual GLAAD Media Awards last night, but she accepted the ceremony's Vanguard Award in one very mini-outfit.

The "Life on the D-List" comedienne took to the stage at Los Angeles' Nokia Live Theatre in a bikini to accept her award from "Grey's Anatomy" star T.R. Knight .

No less flashy, but a lot more covered at the award show, was talk show host Ellen DeGeneres , who looked ready to start a rock band in sneakers and a black skinny tie. Her chat program was awarded with Outstanding Talk Show Episode for "Ellen & Portia's Wedding Day." The longtime couple wed in August 2008, while same-sex marriages were briefly legal in California before the November passing of Prop. 8.

Among the other winner at last night's event? Showtime's "The L Word" in the Special Recognition category, which was joined in the category by FunnyorDie.com viral video "Prop 8: The Musical"; "Milk" for Outstanding Film - Wide Release; ABC's "Desperate Housewives" for Outstanding Comedy Series; ABC's "Brothers & Sisters" for Outstanding Drama Series and "Unidentified Funk," an episode of CBS' "The New Adventures of Old Christine," for Outstanding Individual Episode.

    I think she looks amazing, but it is probably a good idea to wear a little more clothing... if just for the sake of modesty. She's funny and she's rich... no need to hate her for being damn sexy

    Wow, some of you are a bunch of haters! If a woman of any age can look this good, more power to her on the bikini. That was a lot of extremely hard work and dieting and she definitely earned this. Good for her.

    Not saying this looks bad, but honestly no matter how much plastic surgery and exercise... after 40 is one-piece time.
