The Penguin star Colin Farrell pays tribute to Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix's "extraordinary" comic book performances after winning Golden Globe

Colin Farrell wins Golden Globe for The Penguin.

The Penguin actor Colin Farrell has become the third performer to win a Golden Globe for playing a comic book villain, and the first to do so with a TV show. The HBO series sees the Irish actor reprising his role as The Penguin (prosthetics and all) after his debut in 2022's The Batman.

Following his win, Farrell was asked in the awards' press room how it feels to join such a select list of winners, which includes Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix. Both actors were previously honored with a Golden Globe (and an Oscar) for playing the Joker in The Dark Knight and Joker, respectively.
