'Succession' wins best television series (drama)

"Succession" won the Golden Globe for best television series (drama).

Creator Jesse Armstrong called the show a "team effort" and thanked his fellow producers, the writers room and the directors, as well as the cast and crew for their work on the past four seasons.

"We decided this was the right time to end the show and that was very bittersweet, particularly for me, because I finally bought some shoes that are appropriate for awards -- and this might be the last time I ever get to wear them," he added. "It is bittersweet, but things like this make it rather sweeter, so thank you very much indeed."

With this win, "Succession" now ties "Mad Men" and "The X-Files" for the most wins in the category, with three wins total.

"Succession" cast members Sarah Snook, Kieran Culkin and Matthew Macfadyen won Golden Globes earlier tonight.

Other nominees in the category included "1923," "The Crown," "The Diplomat," "The Last of Us" and "The Morning Show."
