Zendaya thanked her family, team, and Euphoria creator Sam Levinson in her acceptance speech.

"I know this feels like a really weird time to be celebrating", she said. "But I just want to say that there is hope in the young people out there. I know that our TV show doesn't always feel like a great example of that, but there is hope for young people. And I just want to say to all my peers out there doing the work in the streets, I see you, I admire you, I thank you", she added.
