Next up at the winner’s microphone is—drumroll, please—Kevin Costner!
During tonight’s 80th annual Golden Globes, Costner won the award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series, Drama for Yellowstone.
He beat out Jeff Bridges for The Old Man, Diego Luna for Andor, Bob Odenkirk for Better Call Saul and Adam Scott for Severance.
This particular honor was first awarded at the 19th Golden Globe Awards on March 5, 1962, under the title Best TV Star-Male, grouping all genres of television series together. The award honored actors in both comedy and drama genres until 1969, when it was split into categories that honored comedic and dramatic performances separately (thank goodness).
Previous winners include Jeremy Strong for Succession, Josh O'Connor for The Crown, Brian Cox for Succession, Richard Madden for Bodyguard, Sterling K. Brown for This Is Us, Billy Bob Thornton for Goliath, Jon Hamm for Mad Men, Bryan Cranston for Breaking Bad, Damian Lewis for Homeland, Kelsey Grammer for Boss and Steve Buscemi for Boardwalk Empire.
The 80th annual Golden Globes were hosted by comedian Jerrod Carmichael at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles. The ceremony was exclusively broadcast on Peacock and NBC.
There’s no doubt there was some seriously steep competition this year, but Costner definitely deserved the win.
