Gadd won earlier in the evening for Outstanding Writing for a Limited or Anthology Series, when he said the success of Baby Reindeer is “the stuff of dreams.”

“Ten 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,” Gadd said.

Baby Reindeer took home the top Limited or Anthology Series prize in a category that also included Fargo, Lessons in Chemistry, Ripley and True Detective: Night Country.
