After six nominations, Paul Giamatti has won the third Golden Globe of his career. During the 81st Golden Globes Awards ceremony held, as usual, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell presented Giamatti with the award for his performance in The Holdovers. 

In the film, Giamatti plays the role of a history professor at a private New England college. “Teaching runs in my family. Everyone is a teacher, it’s been like this for generations,” Giamatti said in his acceptance speech, adding also that “teachers are good people. We need to respect them.”
