Jeffrey Tambor took the honors on Sunday night for actor in a comedy thanks to his work in Amazon’s “Transparent.” The other nominees in the category included Don Cheadle (“House of Lies”), William H. Macy (“Shameless”), Ricky Gervais (“Derek”) and Louis C.K. (“Louie”). This was Tambor’s first Golden Globe nomination and win.

Tambor gave an emotional acceptance speech, saying, “If I may, I would like to dedicate my performance and this award to the transgender community. Thank you thank you thank you for your courage for your inspiration thank you for your patience and thank you for letting us be part of the change.”

In the series, Tambor plays Maura Pfefferman, a transgender woman who comes out to her family. The rookie series was a critical success and has already been renewed for a second season.

This year’s high level of competition is evident by the category’s exclusions, so a special congratulations to Jeffrey Tambor and all the nominees.
