Anderson dedicated her award to her manager who “believed in my talent when I didn’t even think that I had talent.”
She said: “Oh my goodness.
“First, I want to say thank you to Peter Morgan for creating this role, and to Netflix for everything. Everything.”
She then mentioned her manager Connie Freiberg: “who believed in me when no one else would. And believed in my talent when I didn’t even think that I had talent. Who always advised me to take the high road.

“Who was one of the best friends that I’ve ever had in my life. And who wore the same dress five years running to every award show three times a year that she went with me to. Before anybody knew that it was cool, Connie, I love you! This is for you.”
Creator Peter Morgan won outstanding drama writing with the show also receiving a gong for directing, and Tobias Menzies for supporting actor in a drama show, where he played the late Prince Philip.
