It's a good thing.” Luckily, we did get to hear from Zendaya before the night was over, as the actress took to Instagram to share her gratitude. The biggest absence, however, might have been Zendaya’s, as the actress won the award for Best Actress in a Drama TV Series for her role as Rue in Euphoria, but unfortunately, she was not in attendance at the event on Tuesday night.
