Colin Farrell took home the Golden Globe for best actor in a limited or anthology series or a motion picture made for television for his role in The Penguin on Sunday night.
After being presented the award by Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy, Farrell first quipped that he had no one to thank. “No one to thank on this when I did it all by myself,” he joked. “Just a raw, pared-away performance.”
Farrell proceeded to express his appreciation for everyone who helped bring the series to life. “Too many people to thank. You all know it takes a village, whether it’s on the small screen or the big screen,” he says. “I’m here on the backs of the talents of so many people through the years. Maybe this one more than others because of Mike Marino, who designed the makeup, [and] his extraordinary makeup team.”
“All it took was three hours in the chair in the morning,” he continues. “I drank black coffee, listened to ’80s music, and I became a canvas for that team’s brilliance.”
Farrell concluded his acceptance speech by shouting out his cast members, exec producer Matt Reeves (who also directed 2022’s The Batman), showrunner Lauren LeFranc, his fellow Golden Globe nominees, and craft service on the show’s filming set.
