Brody said the film's story is "very reminiscent" of his mother's and his ancestors' "journey of fleeing the horrors of war and coming to this great country."

"I owe so much to my mother and my grandparents for their sacrifice, and although I do not know fully how to express all of the challenges that you have faced and experienced, and the many people who have struggled immigrating to this country, I hope that this work stands to lift you up a bit and to give you a voice. I'm so grateful. I will cherish this moment forever. Thank you."

This is Brody's first Golden Globe win.

Other nominees in the category included Timothée Chalamet for "A Complete Unknown," Daniel Craig for "Queer," Colman Domingo for "Sing Sing," Ralph Fiennes for "Conclave" and Sebastian Stan for "The Apprentice."
