The Honorable Woman just got another honor. Maggie Gyllenhaal took home the Best Actress in a Miniseries or TV Movie at the 2015 Golden Globes.

Gyllenhaal beat out Olive Kitteridge's Frances McDormand, Jessica Lange of American Horror Story: Freak Show, Fargo's Allison Tolman and The Missing star Frances O'Connor.

When she took the stage, the Oscar nominee warned her brother, Jake Gyllenhaal, may be joining her on stage with her speech. While accepting the award for her miniseries, which is now on Netflix, Gyllenhaal spoke about the status of women on TV.

"What I see, actually, are women who are sometimes powerful and sometimes not, sometimes sexy and sometimes not…what I think is new is the wealth of roles for actual women in television and film. That's what I think is revolutionary and evolutionary, and it's what's turning me on," she said.

Gyllenhaal went on to thank "honorable" women in her life, including her mom and her daughters.

This is Gyllenhaal's first win and third overall nomination.
