In what must be something of a surprise, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers who starred as Elvis in the CBS TV mini-series "Elvis The Early Years", has won Best Performance by an Actor in a Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television at the 63rd Golden Globe Awards.
He beat noted actors Kenneth Branagh, Bill Nighy, Ed Harris and Donald Sutherland. Also nominated for the "Elvis" mini-series were Camryhn Manheim (Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television) and Randy Quaid (Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television), both of whom lost out.
