It wasn't in a Manhattan penthouse or at an Italian villa or on a private jet or superyacht, but a ballroom of the Beverly Hills Hilton hotel.
That was the site of a de facto (mini) reunion Sunday night at the Golden Globes of the cast of "Succession," HBO's satirical comedy about a dysfunctional billionaire family that wields inordinate power in the communications realm (paging Rupert Murdoch and family).
Just months after the show's fourth and final season wrapped, a number of the cast members made the trek to Los Angeles for the ceremony, including Kieran Culkin, Sarah Snook, Alan Ruck, Nicholas Braun, J. Smith-Cameron and Matthew Macfadyen.
The show's nine nominations included wins for best drama and Culkin for best male actor in a television series, who beat out his cast mates Brian Cox and Jeremy Strong, who were not in the room.
Snook also took home an award for best female actor in a TV series. "This is really heavy," she said, staring at the trophy. "This show has changed my life."
Macfadyen also won a Golden Globe for best supporting actor.
He cracked up the crowd by gently mocking his character, a sycophantic son-in-law groping for power. "Thank you so much. I just adored every second playing the weird and wonderful human grease stain that is Tom Wambsgans … Tom Wambsgans CEO — God help us," he joked.
Also among the other "Succession" nominees were Alexander Skarsgård and Smith-Cameron.
Fans of the dark comedy are aching for a spinoff, but Culkin all be vetoed that notion while on the red carpet before the Globes, calling it a "horrible idea" while being interviewed by Variety.
"Remember 'Frasier?' Yeah, we all loved 'Frasier,' but not every show can be 'Frasier,'" he said, referencing the hit spinoff of the long-running show "Cheers."
But Culkin did allow that a new show featuring "Cousin Greg," the gangly, funny and scheming "Succession" relative played by Braun, might stand a chance of getting him to appear. "For like — entrance applause? Would that work in a show like this? That's why I would do it," Culkin joked.
Ruck walked the red carpet with the assistance of a cane. The actor was involved in a car accident recently, which has resulted in a lawsuit.
In a suit brought in early December, Horacio Vela alleges that Ruck "abruptly and forcefully accelerated" his truck while stopped at a red light at the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and La Brea Avenue about 9 p.m. Oct. 31.
Ruck's truck struck the rear bumper of Vela's car, knocking him into another vehicle in the intersection, the suit states. Ruck's truck then hit yet another vehicle before smashing into a nearby pizzeria, according to the suit. In late December, Ruck filed papers saying a judgement should be entered in his favor.
