It was a triumphant night for a few members of the Tribe who added more Golden Globe awards to their shelves Jan. 6. Though Amazon’s hit series “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” didn’t win for television series for a musical or comedy, honorary Jew Rachel Brosnahan took home her second Golden Globe for actress in a comedy television series for playing the title character Miriam “Midge” Maisel. Co-star Alex Borstein was nominated but lost, for supporting actress as Midge’s manager/friend Susie.

During her speech, she thanked Tribemember, showrunner, director and writer Amy-Sherman Palladino.

“Thank you to our incredible village that it really takes to make this show,” Brosnahan said. “And our village is a matriarchy led by Amy Sherman‑Palladino.”

Amazon wasn’t the only streaming service that took home awards last night. Netflix show “The Kominsky Method” starring Alan Arkin and Michael Douglas received two big awards for actor in a comedy series (Michael Douglas) and television series for comedy (Arkin was nominated, but lost in the best supporting actor category).

Douglas in his acceptance speech thanked TV icon and creator Chuck Lorre who “thinks getting old is funny” as well as his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones and his children. He ended the speech thanking his father and pristine actor Kirk Douglas, by saying “And I guess this has got to go to my 102‑year‑old father, Kirk, who is ‑ alter-kackers rule.” Mark Ronson celebrates award for origional song “Shallow” from “A Star is Born” with co-writers Lady Gaga, Andrew Wyatt and Anthony Rossomando.

Other Tribe member mazel tovs are in order for Justin Hurwitz who took home his third original score win for the film “First Man,” while Patricia Arquette took home a win for actress in a limited series for her role in “Escape at Dannemora” directed by Ben Stiller.

Following the excitement of the award show Saturday Night Live announced that Rachel Brosnahan will kick off the 2019 season. Now Mrs. Maisel gets to try her comedy chops out on the Studio 8H stage.
