Idris Elba of ‘Luther’ won the Golden Globe award for actor in a series, miniseries or motion picture made for television. Elba beat out Hugh Bonneville of ‘Downton Abbey,’ William Hurt of ‘Too Big to Fail,’ Bill Nighy of ‘Page Eight’ and Dominic West of ‘The Hour’ for the award.
Elba plays antihero detective John Luther in the series on BBC America. His ‘Luther’ character is able to identify a killer at 10 paces but has suffered a mental breakdown, which resulted from the flawed decision of chasing down a pedophile. Elba has also appeared in ‘The Wire, ‘ ‘The Office’ and the film ‘Thor.’
The Golden Globes are being held at the Beverly Hilton on Sunday and are being televised on NBC. We’ll carry all the breaking TV news and reaction here on Show Tracker.
