The former Disney Channel star, Zendaya, who has worked in shows like ‘Shake It Up’ and ‘KC Undercover’, went on to beat the like of Jodie Comer, Sandra Oh, Laura Linney, Olivia Colman and Jennifer Aniston.
The 24-year-old was amongst her family during the virtual ceremony of the Emmys.
She also became the second black actress to win her Emmy category after Viola Davis.
She says “I know this feels like a really weird time to be celebrating, but I just want to say there is hope in the young people out there -…and I just want to say to all my peers out there doing the work in the streets, I see you, I admire you, I thank you.”
