Which award did Hugh Laurie win for playing House in 2006?

Hugh Laurie won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Television Series—Drama in 2006 for playing House.

The award recognized his performance as Dr. Gregory House during the series’ first season. Laurie portrayed House as an exceptionally capable diagnostician whose chronic pain, dependence on Vicodin, and contempt for convention complicated his relationships with patients and colleagues.

Laurie won the same Golden Globe category again in 2007. He also received multiple nominations from the Primetime Emmy Awards for the role, but he did not win the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series.

That distinction causes a common mix-up in trivia: Laurie was an Emmy nominee for House, while his major early television acting wins included the Golden Globe. The Golden Globe win occurred at the 63rd ceremony, honoring television work from 2005.
