Cable networks, led by HBO, nearly swept the Golden Globe Awards Sunday, winning all but one of the television categories.
HBO grabbed six wins, including best comedy series, for Extras; best miniseries, for Longford; and several acting awards. AMC’s rookie drama Mad Men won for best dramatic series and best actor in a dramatic series, for Jon Hamm.
FX’s Damages won for best actress in dramatic series, for Glenn Close, and Showtime’s Californicationwon for best actor in a comedy series, for David Duchovny.
NBC’s 30 Rock was the sole broadcast show to win in the TV categories, grabbing the award for best actress in a comedy, for Tina Fey.
The Golden Globes were announced by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association in a press conference Sunday evening in lieu of the traditional gala ceremony. The three-hour broadcast, complete with red-carpet prelude, was scuttled by the Writers Guild of America strike, which ensured that members of the Screen Actors Guild would not cross picket lines to attend the ceremony.
