I’m so sorry I wasn’t in a position to be there tonight, but I just desired to say thanks to @goldenglobes for this incredible honor. To my fellow nominees, it’s a privilege to be named beside you, I like you all deeply. Thanks to my Euphoria family, without you, none of this is feasible. Lastly, thanks from the underside of my heart to everyone who has allowed Rue into theirs. I feel everyone knows how much she means to me, however the incontrovertible fact that she will mean something to another person is a present. I’m truthfully puzzled as I type this, all I can say is thanks thanks thanks. Goodnight♥️

I just need to say thanks to everyone who has shared their story with me. I would like you to know that anyone who has loved a Rue or appears like they’re a Rue, I would like you to know I’m so grateful to your stories and I carry them with me, and I carry them along with her. So thanks a lot.”
