"I didn't write anything down because I'm very superstitious, and now I'm in a real pickle, so I'm going to do this quickly," Debicki quipped as she won her prize Sunday night.

"Peter [Morgan], thank you," she said, mentioning the show's creator. "Thank you for producing this show. Thank you for placing your trust in me.
