Wow, thank you, thank you so much. Reese, I share this with you, without you I would not be standing up here. So Bruno and Per the greatest collaborators, you make this happen, thank you. Thank you to the television academy for recognizing our show, for recognizing this performance. Thank you to HBO for never wavering in your belief in us.
Thank you to the extraordinary cast and crew that we had, to Laura, to Zoe, to Shay, to Alex and Robin who were my intimate acting partners.
It all started with Liane Moriarty in Sydney, and she entrusted us with her book. Then David E Kelley came along and shaped it with his brilliant storytelling. And Jean-Marc Vallee, this is yours, your vision. You imbued this series with your passion, with your artistry.
I have a huge artistic family who has supported me through all of my ups and downs. I can't name all of them but Kevin Huvane, Susan Barson, and Chris Andrews, Wendi Deng, Miranda, Katie, Michelle, Leslie, Angie, Liz, all of you, you have been so loyal to me, through my whole life. Thank you for that.
I also am a mother and a wife. I have two little girls, Sunny and Faith, and my darling Keith. Who I asked to help me pursue this artistic path and they have to sacrifice so much for it. So. this is yours. I want my little girls to have this on their shelf and to look at it and go, 'every time my mama didn't put me to bed it is because of this. I got something'.
But also I want them to know that sometimes when you are acting, you get a chance to bring a bigger message and this is their contribution and your contribution. We shone a light on domestic abuse.
It is a complicated, insidious disease it exists far more than we allow ourselves to know. It is filled with shame and secrecy, and by you acknowledging me with this award, it shines a light on it even more.
So thank you, thank you, thank you. I bow down to you.
