Rhea Seehorn won the Golden Globe for best actress in a TV drama for her performance as Carol Sturka in “Pluribus” on Apple TV. This is her first Globe nomination and win.
Seehorn was overcome with emotion when she took the stage to accept the award. Looking at a sheet of paper, she said, “My speech says, ‘Get a prescription for beta blockers,’ but I did not. Sorry! I’m going to do my best. I’m sorry, I am just a little shocked!” And before even beginning her speech, she gushed to one of her award presenters: “Queen Latifah, I met you about 20 years ago between jobs at a Koo Koo Roo and you were so nice, so thanks!”
Seehorn acknowledged each of her fellow nominees by name and praised their performances. “Actually, to all the women in this room: I’ve been a lot of these parties that get pretty scary for someone like me sometimes,” she added, referencing the long string of events celebrities attend during awards season. “And the women in this room have been incredible in the last couple of weeks. Thank you for that,” she said.
At the end of her speech, after thanking “Pluribus” creator Vince Gilligan and other collaborators, friends and family, she said, “I am still so grateful that I get to do this for a living, and this is incredible icing on that cake.”
Seehorn is beloved for playing Kim Wexler in “Better Call Saul,” the “Breaking Bad” spinoff that ran on AMC for six seasons from 2015 to 2022. The role earned her nominations for three Critics’ Choice awards and two Emmys in addition to three Actor awards as part of the show’s ensemble. For “Pluribus,” she won the Critics’ Choice award for best drama series actress.
Also nominated for this year’s Golden Globe for best TV drama actress were Kathy Bates (“Matlock”), Britt Lower (“Severance”), Helen Mirren (“MobLand”), Bella Ramsey (“The Last of Us”) and Keri Russell (“The Diplomat”).
“Pluribus” was also nominated for best TV drama.
