She also said she and her co-stars, including creator and Best Actress winner Lena Dunham, got a kick from being in such a celebrity-filled room.
After receiving their honours, she said they burst out into squeals and laughter when Daniel Day Lewis, who starred alongside Girls co-star Adam Driver in Lincoln, offered his congratulations.

The 24-year-old's most talked about scene from the first season included pleasuring herself in her office bathroom.
Speaking to Company magazine about filming that particular sexual scene, Allison said,  'There were moments reading the script that I thought, “WOW, okay!"'
'It’s the most private thing anyone can do, but being an actress can make you feel vulnerable. But of course, my grandparents watch the show.'

'I don’t know why I was so concerned though, they have been alive for virtually 90 years, so who am I to presume that sex never existed before me?' Allison reasoned.
Her grandma and grandad aren't the only people who have been glued to their screens throughout the first season, with critics singing Lena's praises for her comedy drama.
'It’s like a digital time capsule,' Allison explains, 'people will watch it in 20 years time and it will sum up a certain generation.
