Matt Damon is back on top at the 2016 Golden Globes!

The A-list actor walked away with the trophy for Best Actor in a Comedy Movie for his role in The Martian. It was an achievement he was proud to receive after many deserving nominations.

"It was 18 years ago since I've been here doing this and with a little more context, I know how lucky I am and how lucky I am to do this for a living and when people go see movies, it's kind of rare," he told the crowd. "I've made a lot of movies that people didn't go see." 

While the cast, crew and moviegoers received plenty of gratitude from the actor, it was Matt's immediate family who got the sweetest shoutouts from the biggest stage in Hollywood.

"My kids are watching so I want to thank my kids because I told them if I get on TV, I'll definitely say something to them," he shared. "So get ready to go to bed."

He continued, "But my wife Lucy thank you for everything."
