This is the Golden Globe awarded to Paul Hogan for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture Comedy or Musical for his iconic role in Crocodile Dundee (1986). This award recognised Hogan’s charismatic and humorous performance, which helped turn the Australian film into a global hit and made him an international star.

Hogan was only the second Australian to win a Golden Globe in the lead acting categories, after Peter Finch in Network (1977), and the first to win for an Australian film, making this award a milestone for both Hogan and Australian cinema. While their reputation has been tarnished over the years, the long-running Golden Globe Awards remain a pivotal stop during the annual Hollywood awards season that culminates in the Oscars.
