Gina Rodriguez won the award for best actress in a television comedy for Jane the Virgin, and her acceptance speech was every bit as heartfelt and honest as the character she plays. In particular, she thanked her family for encourageing her and ended with a quote that had us all emotional:
"Thank you to my mom and my dad for telling me to dream big and to never stop dreaming. To my siblings, my sisters, Ivelisse and Rebecca, for being the biggest role models in my life . . .
"This award is so much more than myself. It represents a culture that wants to see themselves as heroes. My father used to tell me to say every morning that 'Today is going to be a great day. I can and I will.' Well, Dad, today's a great day. I can and I did!"
