Lena Dunham took home two awards at last night’s Golden Globes 2013: one for Best Actress in a TV Series, Comedy and one for Best Comedy, TV Series. Her most awesome moment on stage was when she thanked Chad Lowe.

Obviously, Lowe disagrees because he thinks Lena is the most awesome person on earth right now.

“Congrats to @lenadunham on your Golden Globe win. But, seriously? You forget to thank me?! After all we've been through? I'm shocked,” he tweeted at first, after her first win.

“Dearest @lenadunham YOU COMPLETE ME,” he added after she included him in her speech.
