HBO's Succession gets fitting goodbye at 81st Golden Globe Awards
"Succession" - the series finale of which aired on May 28, 2023 - won four awards at the 2024 Gold Globes on Sunday night.
During the evening's star-studded ceremony at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, the HBO show won Best Drama Television Series, Best Performance by an actor (Kieran Culkin) and actress (Sarah Snook), and Best Supporting Performance by an actor (Matthew Macfadyen).
"Succession" won four awards at the 2024 Gold Globes on Sunday night.
Kieran Culkin, who played media and entertainment conglomerate heir Roman Roy on the show, reminded us of why his performance was award-winning with his acceptance speech, jokingly telling fellow HBO star and Best Performance nominee Pedro Pascal ("The Last of Us") to "suck it, Pedro."
Much like his character on "Succession," Culkin moved swiftly from levity to emotional, thanking "three amazing women" in his life - his manager, Emily Gerson Saines, wife Jazz Charton, and mother Patricia.
Fans of HBO's "Succession" spent four seasons guessing which sibling would ultimately become the head of Waystar RoyCo, the New York City-based entertainment and media conglomerate that Logan Roy (Brian Cox) founded and owns.
By Roy's standards, neither of his children, Connor (Alan Ruck), Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Shiv (Snook) or Roman (Culkin), deserve to run the family business, making way for a much wider list of contenders for leadership of Waystar RoyCo, including Shiv's fiance, Tom (Matthew Macfadyen).
For the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Performance in a Series by an actress, J. Smith-Cameron (Gerri Kellman) of "Succession" lost out to Elizabeth Debicki of "The Crown."
