The political drama has not had massive wins this year but Kevin Spacey did pick up a best actor award for his portrayal of Frank Underwood at the Golden Globes 2015.

Previously, the actor had jokingly suggested that he might not attend the awards ceremony this time around to better his chances at a win.

Spacey tweeted about his nomination for the Netflix series, joking about how he hadn't won awards the last eight times he was nominated because he attended the ceremony and maybe not going this time would make a difference this time around.

"I jinxed the last 7 #GoldenGlobes noms by showing up, should I sit 8 out in hopes that works? To better odds! #HouseofCards @RealRobinWright," he tweeted on December 11.

House of Cards was in the race for some crucial wins at the Globes.

The Netflix political drama was also nominated in important categories which included best actress in a drama, and best drama.

The third season will premiere on February 27, 2015.
