Hollywood Finally Gives Yellowstone Major Award As Kevin Costner Wins Golden Globe For Best Actor In Drama Series

Kevin Costner shared a heartfelt video with fans minutes before the 2023 Golden Globes began explaining why he couldn’t make the show that would see him win the award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series, Drama.

He said before he won: “Hi everyone, look. I’m so sorry to everyone who might have been turning into watch the Golden Globes. Yesterday, we had to pull the kids out of school, and in Santa Barbara, this is the second time in five years the freeways flooded out.

“We found ourselves on the wrong side of town and couldn’t get back last night. We couldn’t even get back to the house this morning in time, with the freeways closed. Nobody’s sadder than us that we can’t be there at the Golden Globes.

“Chris had a beautiful dress, I was looking forward to walking down the red carpet with her.

“The people at Yellowstone, my castmates, my directors who have been directing me, I’m just so sorry that I can’t be there. I really wanted to.”
