Jeffrey Tambor wins Golden Globe for ‘Transparent’
“I would like to dedicate my performance and this award to the transgender community. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you for your courage. Thank you for your inspiration. Thank you for your patience. And thank you for letting us be a part of the change.”
— Jeffrey Tambor, in his acceptance speech after winning the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a TV Series, Musical or Comedy. Tambor stars in Transparent as Maura Pfefferman, a middle-aged man who comes out to his family as transgender in the Amazon Studios series. A visibly moved Tambor said, “This is much bigger than me. Thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press for putting us on the map and making people aware of our story.”
Transparent also won the Golden Globe for Best TV Series, Musical or Comedy.
