In her winning speech albeit virtually, Zendaya thanked her family and the Euphoria team for her big win. She further added, "I know this feels like a really weird time to be celebrating, 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 in the 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, and yeah, thank you so, so much! This is—whoa, okay, thank you!"
That was one sweet speech that came in straight from her heart.
