She shared an inspiring message for the show's viewers, in which she said what she hopes the audience took away from the show. Taylor-Joy said:

"I hope if people are lonely, they feel a sense of 'okay maybe this isn't as lonely as I think I am, maybe I need to look a little bit more.'"

She explained that Beth's story is one where she thinks she is alone, but she has a lot of support from other players and friends. However, she is too caught up in herself and her struggles to notice.

Taylor-Joy continued and shared that there are two messages within the story. The first message is that you can fight and win against your inner demons, but it is okay to accept others' help.

The occasion marked the first prominent award for Taylor-Joy and the show's first major prizes. She continued in her acceptance speech and said:

"I learned so much. I’m so grateful, and thank you to the audiences that have watched it and supported the character. It meant the world.”
