Michael Palin dedicated his Special Recognition Award to his late friend and Monty Python colleague Terry Jones.
"Anyone who knows or has worked with Terry will have been infected with his infectious and extraordinary enthusiasm," he told the audience.
"Terry always worked to get something right. He had a certain skill in being very ruthless but also charming at the same time."
Opening the show, host David Walliams quipped: "Tonight we celebrate all the time and money that has gone into Simon Cowell's new face."
