Thornton won the Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series for his role in 'Goliath'.
Speaking on the red carpet at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, Thornton said "It's always thrilling, always has been, I can't imagine it not being because when you do this stuff because obviously when you're growing up you needed some kind of attention or you wouldn't have been an actor.

He added "I wish Kenny Lonergan and Michelle Williams had been able to celebrate as well but in truth this belongs to them as much as to me, really. No false modesty. Kenny wrote the thing, directed the thing, Michelle acted the hell out of the thing and so I think it's hard. Anyone could have stepped in with that kind of support and been good."
