Succession ended with none of the Roy siblings 'winning' their father's media empire, but in real life it was a different case.
At the Golden Globes last night, Kieran Culkin — who played Roman Roy — won the award for Best Actor in a TV Drama, beating Jeremy Strong (Kendall Roy) as well as Brian Cox (Logan Roy).
In his acceptance speech, Culkin joked about having indigestion, but called it "a nice moment for me".

"Thanks to Succession, I have been [in this room] a couple of times," he said. "It's nice but I accepted I was never going to be on the stage. So this is a nice moment."
He also made a joke at The Last of Us' Pedro Pascal, stating: "Suck it, Pedro! Sorry. Mine!"

Succession wrapped up with its fourth and final season last year, although Cox recently revealed that he thinks it should have ended differently — with Roman coming out on top.
"The only one, ironically, who I think he feels could step up was Roman, because Roman showed a lot of sensibility, particularly in dealing with the Middle Eastern money – which was fake, and he knew it, and he could see it in season 2," Cox said.
"I thought, 'Wow, there is a potential in Roman,' as I believe there is. That's why I think Roman really, really loved his father."
Succession aired on HBO in the US, and is available on Sky Atlantic and NOW in the UK.
