The 55-year-old actor broke his seven-year-old jinx as he won the Best Actor Award in a TV Series- Drama at the 72nd Golden Globe Awards for his performance in 'House of Cards', reported Entertainment Weekly.
Spacey started his speech, saying "This is just the beginning of my revenge," making a joking reference to his character Frank Underwood from 'House of Cards'.
Underwood plays a charming but conniving politician on the Netflix show, co-starring Kate Mara and Robin Wright.
"This is the eighth time I've been nominated," the actor continued before the the censors cut out the cuss word.
