In 2015, “Empire” swept the TV world and it showed how far hip hop truly came. Based on the life of Lucious Lyon (Terrence Howard), a rapper/mogul on par with Diddy and Jay Z, the show caught on. An average of close to 20 million, “Empire” never came off number one.
Taraji P. Henson won the audiences over with her portrayal of Cookie, the ex-wife of Lucious. Missing the past seventeen years in prison, while her ex remained free to become a billionaire, Cookie is looking for redemption. As of the season two part one finale, she is getting that.
Tonight, Taraji P. Henson scored the first of many “Empire” wins in the year of 2016. For her efforts in 2015, Taraji P. Henson won big at tonight’s Golden Globes. During the ceremony, she won Best Female Actress in a Drama TV Series for her role as Cookie.
