"I am very amazed," Wilson said. "I was nominated for a Golden Globe a number of years ago. It was the year the Writers [Guild of America] had a strike and I sat in the Four Seasons hotel bar, watching the results. I lost and it was more than a little disappointing, so thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for getting me back here and putting me on this podium. It's amazing."

Kevin Spacey picked up the Globe for Best Actor in a TV Drama for his work in Netflix's House of Cards.

"This is just the beginning of my revenge," Spacey joked. Getting more serious, he added, "I have an extraordinary time coming to work every day."
