The star of internationally-acclaimed Netflix show, Stranger Things, won the award this weekend (24 March) - the same day there were widespread marches with hundreds of thousands of students and supporters of gun control reform on the streets in America for the March for Our Lives demonstration.

The march was organised in the wake of last month's (14Feb18) Florida massacre, which claimed the lives of 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.
