To
entertain
the
audience
more,
Ellen
had
a
surprise
present
for
them,
which
was
rather
a
feast
for
the
eyes.
She
showed
them
a
shirtless
picture
of
the
'Thor'
actor
Chris
Hemsworth.
Ellen
said:
'You
know,
here's
the
thing,
awards
are
great.
But
what
really
makes
me
happy
is
making
other
people
happy.
And
tonight,
I'd
want
to
make
you
happy,
so
to
share
with
you
I've
brought
a
shirtless
photo
of
Chris
Hemsworth
to
share.'
