Moore and Hartley accepted the award on behalf of the cast and Hartley said:

“Thank you so much for embracing a show that’s about life and its unpredictable loss and its sweet, sweet victories and inclusivity."

On the red carpet, Hartley said:

“I get emotional when I read [the scripts]. Our writers have a unique ability to… they don’t string anyone along, they tell a story at a certain pace and then they just hit you with a knife. It’s beautiful storytelling. We’re lucky to be there.”
