This news comes after another celebration-worthy Golden Globe Awards nominations by the show. "Mr. Robot" is nominated for 73rd Golden Globe Awards' Best Television Series - Drama Category, Best Actor for lead star Rami Malek who plays hacker Elliot Anderson, and Best Supporting Actor for Christian Slater.

Malek is also nominated at the 22nd Screen Actors Guild Awards for Best Male Actor. Talking about the nomination, the actor of Egyptian decent says he feels like he is the underdog.

He is the youngest among all the nominees which include Peter Dinklage of "Game of Thrones," John Hamm of "Mad Men," Bob Odenkirk of "Better Call Saul" and Kevin Spacey of "House of Cards."

"It says a lot that I got to play a lead in this show and now I'm getting recognition for it as a nominee," he told Los Angeles Times. "I think there a lot of actors in the Screen Actors Guild who can relate to feeling like the underdog. Elliot is a guy who is deeply complicated and can go to really dark places. I'm just happy I get to see where he goes next."
