Richard Maddenmay have lost out on the Iron Throne, but hes a winner tonight.

This is both his first Golden Globe nomination and win.

I want to say thanks to Keeley Hawes, who is the best actress I could ever work with.

Shes amazing and generous.

I met with [creator Jed Mercurio and director Thomas Vincent] for a chat about it.

So that was a very good sign.

Backstage, Madden admitted the Globe was a major pick-me-up.

You constantly question yourself as an actor, if you are deserving of anything.

You are constantly doing that to yourself, questioning your ability.

It [the Globe] was a real confidence booster.

I can do this.

Im kind of blown away by it.

Im acting for 20 years and never thinking you are good enough.

Its a real wake up call to believe in yourself.
