Millie took home the award for favourite TV actress. In her speech, she mentioned the March For Our Lives protests and expressed a desire to use her platform for good. 

"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. But more than anything 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."

Ahead of the protests, Millie took to Instagram to show support for the students and activists.

 

March For Our Lives is an opportunity for us all to stand in solidarity against gun violence. No child, teen, parent or teacher should be afraid to walk into their school or classroom. This is our chance to be HEARD! This is our chance to MAKE A DIFFERENCE. This world needs to be filled with love, kindness and support of one another. 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! #MARCHFOROURLIVES #NEVERAGAIN @marchforourlives
