Kevin Spacey's recent nomination at the Golden Globe Awards was actually not his first one. He has already been nominated for this prestigious award a total of eight times for various movies, including his performances in "The Usual Suspects" and "American Beauty."
However, it was only with the highly watched Netflix show, "House of Cards," that he finally got to take home a win. When he received his award on the stage, he suddenly became in character from the famous dark political comedy drama, and joked, "This is just the beginning of my revenge."
"I want to thank Netflix for their incredible support of this series," added Kevin Spacey. "Ted Sarandos, all of you guys have done an incredible job. I have an incredible time coming to work every day with brilliant writing from Beau Willimon and his incredible writing staff."
Although he has been nominated numerous times already, and, most likely, hoped to finally win every single time, he admitted that he had actually not expected to win this time around. "This is the eighth time I've been nominated," Kevin Spacey shared. "I cannot f*cking believe I won."
Kevin Spacey was clearly teary-eyed as he continued to share to the crowd how he felt about his first ever Golden Globe win.
He recalled how he first met Stanley Kramer, who happens to be one of the greatest film makers of all time.
Spacey recalled, "I said to him, the films you made, the subjects you tackled, the performances you got out of some of the greatest actors that have ever walked the face of the Earth, the Oscars you won, your films will stand the test of time and will influence film makers for all time."
"But, as I stood up to leave, he grabbed my hand, and I looked at his wife, who was across the room, and I sat back down," Kevin Spacey shared. "And, he said, as clear to me as anything he had ever said, 'Thank you so much for saying that. That means so much to me. I just wish my films could have been better.'"
