Colin Farrell Wins Golden Globe For Acting In A Limited Series For ‘The Penguin’

Colin Farrell, who blew way fans this year with his transformation into a classic DC villain, won the Golden Globe for Best Acting in a Limited Series for The Penguin.

“I guess it’s prosthetics from here on out,” said Farrell, who said he endured three hours a day in the makeup chair to transform himself into Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot.

Farrell, who beat Kevin Kline (Disclaimer), Cooper Koch (Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story), Ewan McGregor (A Gentleman In Moscow), Andrew Scott (Ripley) and Richard Gadd (Baby Reindeer), had a special word for the latter actor during his acceptance speech Sunday.

“Richard, man you broke my heart this year,” he said of Gadd’s work in the Netflix limited series that swept the Emmys last fall.

Farrell also had special words for a woman named Carolina in craft services who kept the cast hydrated and warm during those cold nights in New York City.

The Penguin ended its short run in November with no plans for a second season. Showrunner Lauren LeFranc told Deadline that “we’re not really talking about in a second season at this very moment. What we’ve always known is that we’re handing off from the first film. We’re the bridge between the first film and the second film. And beyond that, there’s nothing that I can say that is in any way suggesting there’s a future or not.”
