In his first Golden Globes win, Succession’s Matthew Macfadyen put the praise and blame where it belongs.

“I just adored every second playing the weird and wonderful human grease stain that is Tom Wambsgans,” Macfadyfen said onstage Sunday to more laughs than most of host Jo Koy’s opening monologue. “Tom Wambsgans CEO, I should say God help us,” the Deadpool 3 actor added, reminding everyone of who ended up sort of on top at the end of the Jesse Armstrong-created satire, and how good the writing on the HBO show was.

Up against The Morning Show’s Billy Crudup, The Bear’s Elon Moss-Bachrach, Jury Duty’s James Marsden and his Succession co-stars Alexander Skarsgård and Alan Ruck in the Globes’ Male Supporting Actor, TV category, Macfadyen’s win and pitch-perfect speech saw a big response from the Succession table in the Beverly Hilton ballroom.

In a display of Succession’s status among the Tinseltown finest, Macfadyen’s remarks also got a big cheer from Ben Affleck and a heart round of applause from JLo and Matt Damon, among everyone else in the venue.

For a show that has racked up nominations and wins from almost the moment it debuted in 2018, this was not only Macfadyen’s first Globes win, but his first nomination as well. Succession has a total of nine nominations at this year’s Globes.

A past Emmy winner, the actor is up next week for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.

Rescheduled because of the now concluded WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, the 75^th Primetime Emmy Award airs on Fox on January 19.
