[@laurelsilberman5705]

Hey it’s never too late. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Truly. It’s basically Sherlock Holmes and John Watson dynamic between him and Wilson as far as enabling/actually liking him, but if Sherlock had a team of subordinates to abuse and manipulate, and Cuddy kind of acts as the commissioner Gordon to his Batman. Like “don’t tell me anything that I won’t have to testify against you in court; otherwise let’s work together to enable your mad antics.” Funny stuff.

Hugh starred in a British sitcom called " *Fortysomething* ". He played a married doctor with three sons. Anna Chancellor played his wife. His oldest son was Benedict Cumberbatch. His doctor partner was Peter Capaldi. It was a very off beat show, with very quirky humor. But wonderful to see all these great actors together!!

So funny & memorable. I always laugh at the "how I'd love to pull out a speech by Dolce & Gabbana" bit.

are u still alive?

I only just discovered House, MD series and I'm at the last 3 episodes of season 8. I've watched all the seasons in the last 2 months after I resigned from my previous employer because of health issues. I'm really attached to the series and I'm afraid of watching the last remaining episodes cause I know I will cry. To cope with this sadness, here I am just watching every interviews, bloopers and behind the scenes of the series. Hugh deserves the Best Actor TV Series Drama award. I've never been this attached to a show or a character before. Hugh did such an amazing job portraying it. All the actors have been casted well for the series too. Maybe tomorrow I'll have the courage to watch the end of the show that I loved so much for the past 2 months.

You know what dude same. I just quit 2 months ago and I just started watching House. I'm only at season 4 though

[@whiskeywarmseptember]

Same, I also started stalling when I got to season 6 by watching all these YT videos and rewatching previous episodes because I know how it's gonna end 😢

[@kennedystarr8094]

[@yomiyomi]

One of the best award winning speeches i’ve ever heard

[@NoName-ql1wk]

He is a national treasure.

[@suwaidajalal]

Since every scene I had ever seen Laurie in was over the top comedy (Blackadder, A Bit of Fry and Laurie and Jeeves and Wooster), it was an atomic shock coming across him in House.

[@mehdiSupp]

He's just amazing ! :D

[@JhullyAmilly]

I want more series like the ones that were nominated, Dexter, Grey's Anatomy, House, 24! yaaasssss

[@thecatman4ever]

An award well deserved!

[@Winter-yg1yn]

Always have good sense of humor. Best speech in that year.

[@paveilmikhail3550]

This has got to be one of the most entertaining improvised speeches I've ever heard lol. Huge Laurie on Blackadder doesn't get much attention too 💗💗💗

[@maryrose8478]

I don’t like a lot of celebrities but this one I like.

[@use6less]

That man is a born entertainer, love his work :)

[@alexthewombat6781]

Man I loved both house md and dexter, I’m still watching house at the moment but after watching dexter I was sad that there wasn’t anymore. Every time I finish watching such long shows like dexter, breaking bad, and soon to be house, I feel empty inside and crave that feeling of excitement and not knowing what will happen next. I almost don’t want to finish for I know that the satisfaction I feel will be short lived only to be replaced with that need for another show, and another.

[@micky100]

Literally all of the nominees are from huge series. What a golden age for television!

[@Stalent14]

Best actor in any movie I have ever watched Like how can 8 seasons be all about u n stl u leave us wanting more. That is truly remarkable. #GOAT

[@antoninajucovscaia8439]

He is so great and funny. House was awesome!

[@singenstattatmen5096]

My God he's funny. xD I mean I knew that, but still. Love that he thanked Stephen Fry as well, staying true to his roots. ;)

[@dominikkuharic1259]

As always Hugh Laurie is hillarious :D

[@jaexiusnem1267]

Well deserved. Proper actor, hard to believe he plays house when seeing the actor in real life

[@hiccups55]

A comedian winning a dramatic award. British.
