This time the Golden Globe award was held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills California. Among the many winners here come the Indian origin Indo – American Aziz Ansari who finally received the most prestigious award. He is the first Asian actor to win a Golden Globe for best actor in a TV comedy category.
The 34 year old Ansari has overjoyed for his first win. He thought that he had already lost the award this year too. Later on he added that, “I genuinely did not think I would win as all the websites said I was gonna lose. Also, I am glad that we won this one. To lose two of these in a row would have been really sh***y moment for me. But this is nice. The only reason my acting is good on the show is because everyone holds me up,.” He had been up against Anthony Anderson of Black-ish, Kevin Bacon of I Love Dick, William H Macy of Shameless and Will and Grace Star Eric McComarck.
Ansari was nominated for the same category for the Netflix show The Master of None in 2016. These awards are so special that with his first there are two more who marked a name in the history Sterling K. Brown and Oprah Winfrey both African Americans win the TV lead drama category. Operah during her win gave one of the most iconic speeches of the night. Thus, making the occasion so memorable.
