After accepting the prize for Outstanding Writing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for his work on the semi-autobiographical Netflix series Baby Reindeer, the Scottish actor offered a heartfelt message to viewers navigating difficult times. ”This is the stuff of dreams... 10 years ago, I was down and outright. I never, ever thought I'd get my life together. I never ever thought I'd be able to rectify myself with what happened to me and get myself back on my feet again. Then here I am, just over a decade later, picking up one of the biggest writing awards in television.” In Baby Reindeer, Gadd portrays a man named Donny Dunn who is forced to face buried trauma when a woman begins to stalk him. The drama, which also stars Jessica Gunning and Nava Mau, garnered 11 Emmy nominations. ”I mean it as encouragement for anyone who's going through a difficult time right now to persevere. I don't know much about this life, I don't know why we're here, none of that. But what I do know is that nothing lasts forever.” “And no matter how bad it gets, it always gets better. So, if you're struggling, keep going and I promise you things will be OK." “And no matter how bad it gets, it always gets better.
