Which actor won a Golden Globe for Brooklyn Nine-Nine's first season?

Andy Samberg won a Golden Globe for Brooklyn Nine-Nine's first season. He received the 2014 award for Best Actor in a Television Series—Musical or Comedy for playing detective Jake Peralta.

The award recognized the show's debut season, which aired on Fox from September 2013 to March 2014. Samberg's performance combined Jake's genuine detective skill with his immaturity, pop-culture obsessions, and comic rivalry with Captain Raymond Holt, played by Andre Braugher.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine also won the Golden Globe for Best Television Series—Musical or Comedy that night. Samberg's victory was therefore an individual acting award, not an award shared by the entire cast. The series later received other major honors, but the first-season Golden Globe acting win belongs specifically to Samberg.

The answer is sometimes confused with Andre Braugher because Holt became one of the show's most acclaimed characters and Braugher earned prominent award nominations. Joe Lo Truglio and Terry Crews were also regular cast members, but neither won that first-season Golden Globe acting prize.
