Hugh Laurie Grateful for Win at ‘Last-Ever Golden Globes’ (Video)
Hugh Laurie is delighted at his third Golden Globe win, but got a little somber when he brought up the idea that this might be the last Golden Globe Awards show ever.
He was joking of course — kinda.
“I’ll be able to say that I won this at the last ever Golden Globes,” Laurie said on Sunday during his acceptance speech. “I don’t mean to be gloomy, it’s just that it has ‘Hollywood, Foreign and Press’ in the title.”

The 57-year-old British actor was obviously taking a low-key jab at President-elect Donald Trump and his relationship with Hollywood and the media, as well as his policies on immigration.
“I also think that to some Republicans even the word ‘association’ is slightly sketchy,” continued the “The Night Manager” star.
The joke didn’t stop there, however. Laurie went on to give one more shout out to the Donald.

“Thank you to also the many, many people who gave me this wonderful, extraordinary, once in a lifetime opportunity,” said the actor. “So I accept this award on behalf of psychopathic billionaires everywhere.”
The British actor, who’s most notably known for his role on “House,” won the award for Best Supporting Actor for a Series, Miniseries or Television Film for his part on “The Night Manager.”
