After eight nominations and a slew of performances, Kevin Spacey, who plays Frank Underwood in political thriller “House of Cards,” won his first Golden Globe for Best Actor in a TV Drama last week. He joins fellow cast member Robin Wright, who won Best Actress in a TV Drama in 2014 for her role as Claire Underwood, Spacey’s on-screen wife. The series itself has not won a Golden Globe for Best TV Drama despite critical acclaim and consecutive nominations. After Spacey’s win, Netflix released the trailer for the third season of “House of Cards.” The trailer features the Underwoods in the aftermath of their vengeful political antics.
