He concluded, "To all of the dreamers out there, listen, if you can't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else? Can I get an amen for that?"

At the award-giving event, Claire Foy made her way to the stage after Sarah Paulson announced her as the winner of Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. She beat out the likes of Sandra Oh, Tatuana Maslany, Keri Russell, Evan Rachel Wood and last year's winne Elisabeth Moss.

Joining Claire as the honoree of the night was Matthew Rhys. "The Americans" actor received the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series.

Meanwhile, Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series went to Thandie Newton. The actress, who portrays Maeve Millay on "Westworld", said in her acceptance speech, "I don't even believe in God, but I'm going to thank her tonight. I am so blessed. I'm so blessed. Without this I am even [expletive]," as she covered her mouth.
