For its first season run in 2016, it received three major Golden Globe nominations including Best Television Series – Drama and a Best Supporting Actress for both Moore and Metz’s performances. As for its second season, Sterling K. Brown has won his first Golden Globe for Best Actor in Television Series Drama along with Ron Cephas Jones who won an Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actor.
