Jennifer Coolidge ‘Succession’ star Sarah Snook took home the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress (Television) as her performance as Shiv Roy was great and deserved the win. However, “Succession” has got a Season 4, and possibly more after that, so it will get a lot more chances.

That show is getting a season 2, but she won’t be in it, as it will reportedly feature a new cast. So, this was her chance to win, and it’s also her first nomination by any means, even though she’s an industry veteran with several memorable roles in ‘Legally Blonde’, ‘American Pie’, etc. It was a swindle to ignore him for the award category.

It was Garfield’s third nomination but his first win. Will Smith took home the Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama trophy for his performance as tennis champion Venus and Serena Williams’ father Richard Williams in “King Richard.”
