Esmail accepted the award graciously and goofily, saying, "I gotta thank the Hollywood Foreign Press. I mean, they gave the best drama series award to a show called Mr. Robot. And that took a lot of courage, so thank you."

Mr. Robot was up against almost untouchably popular shows like Game of Thrones and Empire for the award, which makes tonight's win all that much more of a coup for the series, still only one season deep.
