Paul Reubens walked the black carpet at the SCREAM Awards 2011 in character as Pee-wee Herman prior to hitting the stage at the awards show to pick up his 'Visionary Award' for creating one of the most iconic characters of all time. Says Michael Levitt, executive producer of Spike TV's SCREAM Awards 2011, about Reubens' selection as this year's Visionary winner: "Paul Reubens had a big vision and in bringing Pee-wee Herman and his amazing Playhouse to life, he brilliantly brought us all along on a very big adventure. Pee-wee speaks to the inner child in all of us, with a grown-up wit and a timeless irreverence. At the 'Scream Awards,' we honor a wide range of visionary geniuses and it has been a longstanding dream to have this chance to honor Paul - and Pee-wee - with the Scream Visionary Award."
And while on the carpet, Pee-wee Herman - who is one of only a select handful of people to be named an honorary Muppet (I'm so jealous) - talked to About.com about how special the Visionary Award is and how maybe winning an Oscar for his upcoming film could be the only thing that would possibly top being named a visionary:
