Amazon.com Inc's "Transparent" became the first ever online streaming series to bring home the best comedy series.

Two-time Oscar winner Kevin Spacey, meanwhile, scorred his first Golden Globe win for best drama actor for his role in House of Cards.

Gina Rodriguez won the best comedy actress for her eponymous role as the industrious and religious Latin who vows to keep her virgnity in Jane the Virgin. Jeffrey Tambor grabbed the Golden Globe for best comedy/musical actor as the retired professor who confessed that he used to be a woman.
