Though it came into Sunday’s Golden Globes awards as the leading TV series with four nominations, the Baltimore-shot series “House of Cards” quickly buckled under the weight of “Breaking Bad.” But star Robin Wright snapped up the best drama actress for her work as the scheming Claire Underwood.

It was a banner weekend for Wright, who also just got engaged to actor Ben Foster.

The Netflix production and cast members Kevin Spacey and Corey Stoll lost in their contests for best drama series (to “Breaking Bad”), actor (Bryan Cranston of “Breaking Bad”) and supporting actor (Jon Voight of “Ray Donovan”), respectively.
