SCOTTISH actor Brian Cox has picked up a Golden Globe nomination for his role as Logan Roy in Succession.
The Dundee-born actor and independence supporter has been nominated in the category for best performance by an actor in a drama television series.
He previously picked up a Golden Globe for his performance in the hit show in 2019 and was nominated again in 2021.
The final season of the hit show aired earlier this year with a number of Cox’s co-stars in the show also picking up nominations, including Jeremy Strong, Kieran Culkin, Sarah Snook and Matthew Macfadyen.

Created by Jesse Armstrong, Succession told the story of the Roy family – who controlled a powerful global, media and entertainment conglomerate – fighting for control of their family empire.
Elsewhere, the film adaptation of Alasdair Gray’s novel Poor Things has also picked up a number of nominations.
Yorgos Lanthimos is nominated for his work as director while Emma Stone is also up for an award by the best performance by an actress in a musical or comedy.
Her co-stars Willem Dafoe and Mark Ruffalo also picked up nominations in the best supporting actor category.
The film has also been widely tipped for Oscar success and is due for release across the UK on January 12.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
