In her acceptance speech, she talked equally being a team player as much as an actor, and to speak up whenever possible. “I encourage everyone in this room to please speak up.”

The ceremony took place at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, with Live with Kelly and Michael‘s Michael Strahan as host. – Rappler.com
