Selena Gomez Is Also Super Obsessed With Amy Schumer

​Last night, Selena Gomez presented the Hollywood Comedy Award to Amy Schumer at the Hollywood Film Awards. Selena didn't give your typical award ceremony speech though. Instead, she publicly declared her love for Amy — ​as any of us would in that moment: "I talk about [Amy] obsessively," Selena started. "I've tweeted her often. I try to impersonate her and it doesn't really work. I actually just met her so basically what I'm saying is I'm really happy that clearly Jennifer Lawrence wasn't able to do this tonight because I love you."

Selena then broke down Amy's impact on her: "Amy, you've inspired me not take myself too seriously when I sit on my couch and I'm depressed about certain things. You constantly made me feel I'm a badass even though most of the time I'm not. You say the things I wish I could say and you never ever make feel bad about anything I do in my personal life."

It was a touching speech — and one that moved Amy, who came up on stage and immediately reassured Selena that she was not J.Law's backup. "I didn't even ask Jen [to present] — Selena, you were my first choice," she said. And boom, that's how a friendship is born.
