George Clooney holds Bob Hope Humanitarian Award in press room during 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards 29 Aug. 2010, in Los Angeles.

George Clooney received a humanitarian award for his efforts on behalf of victims of disasters. Clooney brought attention to the humanitarian crisis in the Darfur region of Sudan and helped organize telethons to aid victims of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the Haitian earthquake this year. He complained that the spotlight on those disasters, and the recent flooding in Pakistan, holds the world's attention only briefly.

"So here's hoping that some very bright person right here in the room or at home watching can help find a way to keep the spotlight burning on these heart-breaking situations that continue to be heart-breaking long after the cameras go away," Clooney said.

The Emmys are presented by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences and are considered the highest honor in American television. Late-night talk show host and comic Jimmy Fallon hosted this year's show.
