"I want [my daughters] to know that sometimes when you're acting, you get a chance to bring a bigger message and this is their contribution and your contribution," she said. "We've shone a light on domestic abuse. It is a complicated, insidious disease. It exists far more than we allow ourselves to know. It is filled with shame and secrecy, and by you acknowledging me with this award, it shines a light on it even more."

9. Plus, she kissed her co-star Alexander Skarsgård after he won, and caused an internet meltdown.

11. When she was named as one of Glamour's Women Of The Year.
