The 31-year old actress shared a smooch with John Krasinski after he ran all the way from backstage at the Hollywood Palladium in California on Thursday, January 15, 2015 to surprise her as she picked up her Best Actress in an Action Movie prize for her role as Sergeant Rita Vrataski in ‘Edge of Tomorrow’.
After it was announced Emily had won, John shouted ‘yes’ before running up to her and giving her a big kiss.
She then said: ‘He’s presenting next. Sorry, ruined that.’
Emily thanked John, who she has 11-month old daughter, Hazel with – for putting up with her during filming for the role, in which her character helped to train Tom Cruise‘s alter-ego, Major William Cage to improve his fighting skills and joked she has tried some of Rita‘s moves out on him.
She said: ‘Finally, to my sneaky husband, John Krasinski, for being OK with the fact that he was married to a veiny, sinewy wrestler for the duration of this film, and also coming up with my favourite line ever which was, ‘I’m terrified I’m gonna wake up one morning and you’re benching me.’
‘Which I did, just to kind of freak him out.’
Emily also paid tribute to her co-star, Tom and director, Doug Liman at the ceremony, which was hosted by Michael Strahan.
She said: ‘I share this completely with Tom Cruise, who let me kick his ass every day. Doug Liman is extraordinary.’
Other award winners include Julianne Moore who took home the Best Actress prize for ‘Still Alice’, Michael Keaton who won Best Actor for ‘Birdman‘ which swept the board with seven prizes while ‘Boyhood’ was awarded Best Picture.
