"Dominic West has said that he is excited about his Golden Globes nomination. The Sheffield-born actor, who plays Hector Madden in the HBO series, was given the nod for &amp;#039;Best Actor in a Mini-Series&amp;#039; earlier this month. The 42-year-old told The AP: &amp;quot;In my 37 years in show business I&amp;#039;ve yet to win an award. So yes, we had a little jump up and down at home, cracked open another bottle. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s always nice to know that what you&amp;#039;re doing is actually being watched and appreciated by people. Especially when audience figures aren&amp;#039;t so big. And in England, we were on over the summer holidays, so I wasn&amp;#039;t ever sure if anyone saw it.&amp;quot; Best known for playing Jimmy McNulty in The Wire, the star added that the cast of his former show would turn up for any awards ceremony. &amp;quot;No-one would turn up from The Sopranos because they were bored of awards, and no-one would turn up from West Wing or whatever because they were bored,&amp;quot; West said. &amp;quot;But the whole of The Wire would turn up. We never got nominated for anything but we&amp;#039;d always have a good time.&amp;quot; The 2012 Golden Globes is being held in Los Angeles on January 15.
