“Thank you for making such a safe space to make this very difficult show. I love you all so much,” said Zendaya in her speech. “Thank you to the Academy, thank you to my friends and family, some of which are here tonight. Thank you to Sam [Levinson] for sharing Rue with me. Thank you for believing in me, even in moments where I didn’t believe in myself.”

She went on to say that her “greatest wish for ‘Euphoria’ was that it could help heal people.” She added, “Anyone who has loved a Rue, or feels like a Rue, I want you to know that I’m so grateful for your stories, and I carry them with me, and I carry them with her. So, thank you very much.”

As for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, the big honor went to Jean Smart for her performance on HBO’s “Hacks“. On the show, Smart perfectly nailed her character, comedian Deborah Vance.
