Corden gave an emotional speech thanking his fiancée Julia and paying tribute to his fellow nominees.
To be on a list with you was enough and holding this, it honestly just reminds me that there is no such thing as best. I'm overwhelmed.
My girlfriend Julia gave birth to our son like, five days before we started rehearsals. She's my baby mama, and I can't wait to marry her. Seriously, I would not be holding this if it wasn't for her. I love her. Thank you very much.
