"The March For Our Lives demonstrations that took place all over the world today have inspired me and impacted us all in one way or another," she said.

"I’m fortunate to be here tonight to receive an award as an actor ... I get to be up here, and I’m privileged to have a voice that can be heard, one that I can use to hopefully make a positive difference and help influence change."

She doubled down on this theme with further posts on social media before and after the show, writing: "March For Our Lives is an opportunity for us all to stand in solidarity against gun violence.

"No more fear, no more hurt, no more shootings, no more GUNS. To everyone participating in tomorrow’s March all over the country, you have my love, support, strength and encouragement!"
