While fans of the show wouldn't be surprised by the win, they may have been shocked by Brian planting a big kiss on the lips of Kieran Culkin.
Cox and Culkin play father and son on screen, as Logan Roy and Roman Roy respectively.
After his name was read out, Cox celebrated at his table, before making his way to the stage.
As Kieran held out his hand for a shake, the 73-year-old actor put both hands on his head and went in for the smooch instead.

Cox dedicated his win to showrunner Jesse Armstrong before apologising to the other nominees: "First of all, I want to apologise to my fellow nominees for winning this.
"I mean, I'm sorry. And that's all I can say: I'm sorry.
"But I never expected this. And I've been in this business, well, next year I would have been in this business 60 years.
"I mean, I started when I was two, and I just never thought this would happen to me, so I'm a wee bit shocked."
