"“Scott Frank, my god, I love you. Thank you for letting me be part of the journey and thank you for trusting me with Beth.
"It's obviously wonderful that everyone has seen the show but I would do this project again and again and again, I learned so much. Thank you to the audience who watched it and supported the characters, it meant so much."
Anya took the award ahead of Cate Blanchett ('Mrs. America'), Daisy Edgar-Jones ('Normal People'), Shira Haas ('Unorthodox'), and Nicole Kidman ('The Undoing').
