The awards handed out Wednesday for film, television and music, are based on public voting via the internet, unlike many award show counterparts.
Favorite movie and favorite family movie both went to "Finding Dory," Pixar's animated tale of a forgetful fish who is on a quest to find her parents.
DeGeneres, who played Dory, won the award for favorite animated movie voice. It was one of three awards for the talk-show star, who also took the trophy for favorite daytime TV host and shared an award with Britney Spears for favorite comedic collaboration.
That made DeGeneres the most decorated artist in the award show's history, with 20 trophies over the course of her career.
