Hollywood great Meryl Streep presented the award to Cher on Monday night with a heartwarming tribute to the singer known as the Goddess of Pop.

"When I think of Cher, I think of her giant heart -- how open it is, how battered it is and how strong it is, and how she leads with her heart in everything she does, in her acting, her singing, her dancing, her dressing," said Streep.

Cher accepted her award onstage with a few words of encouragement for her fans.

"Have a dream and then don't give it up no matter what happens," she said.
