Speaking from the stage, she told the audience: “My mum and dad who are in Liverpool, who I didn’t invite because I didn’t think this was going to be my time.

“One, I’m sorry. Two, I love you and I’m going to bring it home.”

Jodie beat her co-star Sandra Oh, 48, in Los Angeles, and despite the drama-duo being up against each other, she was quick to dismiss any idea of a rivalry, telling Variety: “I think people think it’s more awkward than it is.

"We’re so celebratory of each other, as is the whole crew.

 In her acceptance speech Jodie said: 'I cannot believe I’m in a category alongside these women, including Sandra'
