Poor Taylor Swift!

No one will let her wear genuine emotion on her face in peace!

As the country cutie has been the subject of parody on numerous occasions for always appearing genuinely shocked whenever she is the recipient of an accolade at award ceremonies, which we ALL know is for her, a commonplace occurrence, she was asked to respond to those who question her modesty in these occasions on Nightline!

Ch-ch-check out what she has to say (above)!

Well, no, gurl! We don't really think it's that crazy anymore!

You're a supremely talented young lady, so you deserve every award you receive!

But we DO appreciate that you accept every one of them as though it's your first, so don't let the haters get you down…and keep on dropping that jaw like it suddenly doubled in its weight!

You said it best, Zooey Deschanel!

Most 22-year-old girls hanging out in Las Vegas are not NEARLY as philanthropic as Taylor Swift!

The country cutie was the proud recipient of the 2012 Billboard Music Awards' Woman of the Year, and of course, remained as charming and humble as ever as she accepted the accolade, with her misty-eyed mother proudly watching from the audience!

Ch-ch-check her out (above)!

We're jut as proud, gurl!

Don't you ever change!

Such an unbelievable honor!

This weekend, Josh Hutcherson was honored at the 2012 GLAAD Awards as the recipient of the coveted Vanguard Award, which is presented every year to a media professional who has gone above and beyond the efforts of most to increase acceptance and tolerance in the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community!

Ch-ch-check out a video of the Hunger Games star's moving, and very sweet acceptance speech (above)!

Even though Josh Hutcherson never had the opportunity to meet his two gay uncles, who, as we reported, tragically passed away from AIDS before he was born, they clearly have inspired The Hunger Games star to step up and become a passionate advocate for the LGBT community, and work closely with the group Straight But Not Narrow!

Enough so to mark him as the youngest recipient of the Vanguard Award at the upcoming GLAAD Media Awards, and in light of the honor, he's speaking out for the first time about his late relatives!

He explains:

Ouch!

In light of Katy Perry and Russell Brand's divorce, the honchos behind the upcoming People's Choice Awards have decided to uninvite the comedian from the ceremony, as his soon-to-be-ex is up for seven of the awards!
