The Golden Globes finally honoured "The Americans", one of the best TV shows of the recent times, by awarding it Best TV Series - Drama as a parting gift while the Michael Douglas-starrer "The Kominsky Method" was named Best TV Series - Musical or Comedy.
"The Americans", starring Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell as two Soviet spies living in America during the Cold War, finally received a nomination in the category for its final season and won.
However, both Rhys and Russell were ignored in their respective categories with the awards going to Richard Madden for "The Bodyguard" and Sandra Oh for her role in "Killing Eve".
Oh, who also took on the hosting duties with Andy Samberg, gave a shout out to her parents in the audience.
"Oh, Daddy!" the Korean-Canadian actor said emotionally as she arrived to claim her trophy.
"Oh my god! Phoebe Waller-Bridge, thank you so much! I'm so grateful to my family oh my god! I'd like to thank my mother and my father," a tearful Oh said before addressing her parents in Korean.
