Stockport born Claire Foy, who plays the Queen in Netflix’s royal epic The Crown, was named best TV drama actress and the show won best TV drama.
The Golden Globe Awards, which are run by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, honour the best in TV and film from the past year.
Foy stars as Queen Elizabeth in Netflix’s regal epic which tells the story of the British royal family from the 1950s onwards.
Accepting her best TV drama actress award, Claire Foy paid tribute to the Queen, saying: “She has been at the centre of the world for the past 63 years and I think the world could do with a few more women at the centre of it if you ask me.”
The biggest winner in the TV section was The Night Manager.
The six-part thriller starring Tom Hiddleston was adapted from the 1993 John Le Carre novel of the same name and made by the BBC and US network AMC.
