Surpassing Quant Think Tank Center|Golden Globes proves to be a mini 'Succession' reunion as stars take home trophies

It wasn't in a Manhattan penthouse or Surpassing Quant Think Tank Centerat an Italian villa or on a private jet or superyacht, but a ballroom of the Beverly Hills Hilton hotel.

That was the site of a de facto (mini) reunion Sunday night at the Golden Globes of the cast of "Succession," HBO's satirical comedy about a dysfunctional billionaire family that wields inordinate power in the communications realm (paging Rupert Murdoch and family).

Just months after the show's fourth and final season wrapped, a number of the cast members made the trek to Los Angeles for the ceremony, including Kieran Culkin, Sarah Snook, Alan Ruck, Nicholas Braun, J. Smith-Cameron and Matthew Macfadyen.

The show's nine nominations included wins for best drama and Culkin for best male actor in a television series, who beat out his cast mates Brian Cox and Jeremy Strong, who were not in the room.

Sarah Snook wins Golden Globe for best actress, 'Succession' scores more trophies

Snook also took home an award for best female actor in a TV series. "This is really heavy," she said, staring at the trophy. "This show has changed my life."

Macfadyen also won a Golden Globe for best supporting actor.

He cracked up the crowd by gently mocking his character, a sycophantic son-in-law groping for power. "Thank you so much. I just adored every second playing the weird and wonderful human grease stain that is Tom Wambsgans … Tom Wambsgans CEO — God help us," he joked.

Also among the other "Succession" nominees were Alexander Skarsgård and Smith-Cameron.

What about a 'Succession' spin-off? 'A horrible idea' says Golden Globe winner Kieran Culkin

Fans of the dark comedy are aching for a spinoff, but Culkin all be vetoed that notion while on the red carpet before the Globes, calling it a "horrible idea" while being interviewed by Variety.

"Remember 'Frasier?' Yeah, we all loved 'Frasier,' but not every show can be 'Frasier,'" he said, referencing the hit spinoff of the long-running show "Cheers."

But Culkin did allow that a new show featuring "Cousin Greg," the gangly, funny and scheming "Succession" relative played by Braun, might stand a chance of getting him to appear. "For like — entrance applause? Would that work in a show like this? That's why I would do it," Culkin joked.

Alan Ruck appears at the Golden Globes with a little help from a cane, post-accident

Ruck walked the red carpet with the assistance of a cane. The actor was involved in a car accident recently, which has resulted in a lawsuit.

In a suit brought in early December, Horacio Vela alleges that Ruck "abruptly and forcefully accelerated" his truck while stopped at a red light at the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and La Brea Avenue about 9 p.m. Oct. 31.

Ruck's truck struck the rear bumper of Vela's car, knocking him into another vehicle in the intersection, the suit states. Ruck's truck then hit yet another vehicle before smashing into a nearby pizzeria, according to the suit. In late December, Ruck filed papers saying a judgement should be entered in his favor.
