The television awards at the Golden Globes are often somewhat overlooked — after all, the industry handed out the Emmys just a few months ago. But at Sunday’s boozy Globes gala, the winners in the small screen categories — including the stars behind breakout British comedy “Fleabag” and the darkly humorous drama “Succession” — got some laughs and got political. HBO’s “Succession” — centered on a powerful media family’s wrangling for control of its company — scored the award for best drama series. “Succession” star Brian Cox took home the best drama actor prize for his role as the family’s husky, growling patriarch. “Chernobyl” — about the catastrophic 1986 nuclear accident — went home with the award for best limited series or TV movie, and Stellan Skarsgard won for best supporting actor.
