Jon Hamm had the room howling during his intro for Stacey Snider, listing all her pics until he duly noted, "All films I have not been in. Not even a walk-on!"Self-deprecation continued when Jennifer Aniston said she admired a video clip "hair bit" that showed fellow honoree Barbra Streisand removing her wig for the camera. "If I had even slight balls," Aniston remarked, "I would pull out every single piece of fake hair in my head right now and I would lay it out as I spoke to you."Streisand, who arrived with her pet dog in a bag and kept it under her table, even poked fun at herself. "I'd like to congratulate all of the wonderful women who have been honored tonight. You're all so charming, so well-spoken and so thin. I ate the chocolate cake!"
