The Windsors of
The Crown
, the crooked lawyer of
Better Call Saul
, the traffickers of
Ozark
and the reluctant Stakhanovites of
Severance
could do nothing against the power of the Targaryens and their dragons.
House of the Dragon
succeeded where its parent series failed.
The Game of Thrones
prologue
walked away from the 80th Golden Globes with the king trophy for Best Drama Series.

Jean-Luc Reichmann elected favorite host of the French
A little surprise.
Nominated five times in this category,
Game of Thrones
had always ended up empty-handed.
Even at the height of its glory.
House Of The Dragon
co-creator
Miguel Sapochnik was the first surprised to be called to the podium.
He had already taken off his tie...
The night was good for HBO.
Its satire on the ultra-rich
The White Lotus
triumphed in the best miniseries category.
Its star Jennifer Coolidge won the statuette for best actress in a supporting role.
In a hilarious speech peppered with invective, she thanked showrunner Mike White for having relaunched her career, "
even if he made the choice to kill my character at the end of his Sicilian vacation
", said she guffawed.
On the series side, the cable channel can also rejoice in the triumph of Zendaya, best dramatic actress for the second season of
Euphoria
, which goes even further in its description of the hell of adolescence and artificial paradises.

Often winning the new releases of the year, unlike the more cautious Emmy Awards, the Golden Globes have dubbed the prodigious black comedy
The Bear
, the portrait of a starred cook at the end of his rope trying to take over the family sandwich shop.
His revelation, the nervous Jeremy Allen White, was crowned best comic actor.
Better Call Saul
left out
In these times of supremacy of platforms and cable channels, traditional channels have made, for once, a very good figure.
For the first time in nine years, one of the historic "networks" has been rewarded.
ABC's chronicle of the day-to-day life of an under-resourced and under-funded Philadelphia public elementary school,
Abbott Elementary
, won Best Comedy.
The program accumulates the most awards of this edition of the Golden Globes since two of its actors have entered their names on the list: the creator and main actress Quinta Brunson and her partner Tyler-James Williams
Defying predictions, the Hollywood foreign press association that organizes the Golden Globes missed its chance to recognize the brilliance of
Better Call Saul
.
The final season of the Breaking Bad
spin- off series
was left on hold.
Rather than awarding mainstay Bob Odenkirk, the Golden Globes celebrated Kevin Costner's panache for his performance as a brutal patriarch in
Yellowstone
.
A modern and mafia Western, Taylor Sheridan's saga is the cathodic sensation of the moment on the other side of the Atlantic and has already given birth to two prologues
1883
and
1923
where respectively Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, and Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford are rampant.
Unfortunately Kevin Costner could not pick up his award.
The star of
Dances with Wolves
was stranded at his ranch in Santa Barbara, 150 km from Los Angeles where the ceremony was held, due to flooding in California.
Disavowed by critics, the rather dull fifth season of
The Crown
on the divorce between Prince Charles and Lady Di did not offer any trophy to Netflix.
It's a first.
The platform has kept a low profile and is catching up with
Ozark
muse Julia Garner - Best Supporting Actress in a Series - and Evan Peters, terrifying serial killer in
Dahmer -
