Rami Malek won Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama at the 2019 Golden Globes on Sunday night.
"I am beyond moved. I am beyond moved," Malek said when he accepted his award. "My heart is pounding out of my chest right now.

In October, ET caught up with Malek at the London premiere of Bohemian Rhapsody where he addressed the importance of Mercury’s sister, Kashmira Cooke, approving of his performance in the film.
“It’s so daunting to play a man who is revered by so many and means so much to hundreds of millions all over the world, but to get his sister’s approval is everything,” he thoughtfully explained.
The thespian’s mother, Nelly Malek, was also on hand on the red carpet where she proudly lavished her son with praise.
“You know, I cannot imagine how proud, how happy I am!” she exclaimed. “I cannot believe it. It’s amazing.”
That’s about when Malek gently cut his mother off and sent her inside the theater, explaining, “She’ll go on forever so…”
