Atlanta wins Golden Globe for Best Comedy TV Series
The “Twin Peaks with rappers” takes home a trophy.
The Donald Glover-helmed Atlanta has won the Golden Globe for Best Television Series, Musical or Comedy. It beats outs Black-ish, Veep, and Amazon series Mozart in the Jungle and Transparent.
During his acceptance speech at the Beverly Hills ceremony, Glover (who also won for Best Actor in a Comedy Series) thanked Migos, “not for being in the show, but for making ‘Bad And Boujee’. That’s the best song ever.” Watch his full speech below.
