Very proud, but some serious imposter syndrome at play for Miranda Harcourt.
She's been named Supreme Winner at last night's Kea Awards in Auckland.
They recognise those who have demonstrated unique power of Kiwi connection and used it to benefit Aotearoa.
The actor, director and performance coach told Mike Hosking she was in awe of the other winners.
Harcourt told Mike Hosking as the evening progressed, she was so overwhelmed and impressed by the global impact of all the amazing Kiwis in the room.
Other winners include Katie Sadlier, the first female CEO of the Commonwealth Games Federation who just oversaw the Birmingham event, and Dave Ferguson who has an algorithm being used on NASA's Mars rover.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
