Laura Dern presented the first award of the night and Daniel’s moment was almost ruined when he experienced technical difficulties during his win.
The camera cut back to Laura as Daniel’s audio seemed to not be working before he was then immediately shown back on the broadcast.
Daniel became teary eyed during his acceptance speech as he said: ‘Man this took it out of me – I gave it everything.
He said: ‘Can you hear me now? All right, cool. We got this. Thank you for the accolade, thank you to my mom, my sister, my niece. Yo, I used to listen to a song, I used to listen to a song before every speech. Thank you for “The game is mine.’
Overjoyed: John received the gong for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Supporting Role as Leroy Logan in Small Axe
‘I want to thank, it takes a village to raise a film, I would like to thank our leader, for your vision and collaboration, and Ryan — and Charles King, everyone at macro, like to thank Warner Bros., and I like to thank the incredible cast, you know, I stand with you, my bro.
‘All the crew, all the cast, the rest of the cast and my comrades, all the crew in Cleveland, we have done it.’
Daniel was nominated alongside Sacha Baron Cohen, Jared Leto, Bill Murray and Leslie Odom Jr.
Meanwhile, John Boyega thanked the Hollywood Foreign Press for the honour and joked he was wearing his tracksuit bottoms for the virtual ceremony.
He said: ‘Thank you so much to HFPA this is such a shock…. I got trakkie bottoms on! I am so excited,’ before adding that he thought he was just going to go to bed for the evening.
John was nominated alongside Daniel Levy, Brendan Gleeson, Jim Parsons and Donald Sutherland.

The 78th Golden Globe Awards was originally due to take place in early January but was postponed until Sunday February 28 as Hollywood continues to adjust to the coronavirus pandemic and new safety guidelines.
Amy Poehler and Tina Fey have returned as hosts for the fourth time after previously doing the honour in 2013, 2014 and 2015.
The Golden Globes 2021 is the first time the awards show has been broadcast from two separate coasts with the nominees announced virtually.
Fey, 50, is broadcasting from atop New York City’s Rockefeller Center in the Rainbow Room and Poehler, 49, in Los Angeles at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, where the ceremony is usually held annually.

While Kevin Bacon, Sterling K. Brown, Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Margot Robbie, Tiffany Haddish, Anthony Anderson, Kate Hudson and Kenan Thompson also make up the star-studded line-up.
Jane Fonda, 83, is receiving the Cecil B. DeMille Award, an accolade for film. The iconic actress has previously won Golden Globes for her roles in Klute, Julia and Coming Home – to name a few.
Norman Lear, best known for All In the Family and Sanford And Son, will be honoured with the Carol Burnett Award, a counterpart to the DeMille Award that focuses on life achievement in television.
