Zendaya first apologized for not being able to collect the award personally but thanked the event organizers for giving her blessing her with the incredible honour. “I’m so sorry I wasn’t able to be there tonight, but I just wanted to say thank you to Golden Globes for this incredible honor.

Zendaya further thanked her fans for giving her character Rue a place in their hearts, explaining that the honour has left her at a loss for words.

“Lastly, thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has allowed Rue into theirs. I think everyone knows how much she means to me, but the fact that she can mean something to someone else is a gift. I’m honestly at a loss for words as I type this, all I can say is thank you thank you thank you. Goodnight,” she continued while sharing a monochrome still of her Euphoria character.
