Tina Fey of NBC’s 30 Rock was the only actor keeping cable from sweeping the television categories in the strike-impacted Golden Globe Awards announced in Beverly Hills Sunday night.

HBO dominated the count, but the big buzz may be about the pay-off for AMC’s investment in original programming.

-killer, was named best made-for-TV movie. Its stars, Jim Broadbent as Longford and Samantha Morton a convicted killer, each won awards for their performances.

Entourage’s Jeremy Piven added a Golden Globe to his Emmys, honored again for his high-octane role as agent Ari Gold. Queen Latifah was honored for her role in the HBO film Life Support.

FX also had a share of the glory: its drama series Damages provided a chance for star Glenn Close to earn a Golden Globe as best actress in a drama.
