30 Rock has been nominated for thirteen and won six Golden Globes Awards so far. The first award was won by Alec Baldwin in 2007, for his role of Jack Donaghy.
Tina Fey won a Golden Globe for her role of Liz Lemon in 2008. Fey chose not to attend the ceremony for her win due to the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike. The Writers Guild of America, of which Fey is a member, did not grant a waiver to the Golden Globes awards ceremony during the strike and did not let its members attend.[16] Members of the Screen Actors Guild, of which Fey is also a member of, as well as Baldwin, refused to cross Writers Guild picket lines at the ceremony.[17]
In 2009, 30 Rock won all the awards it was nominated for, sweeping the musical or comedy television series awards for both acting and the series as a whole.

“ | True or false, accurate or exaggerated, recalled from experience or just plain made up, 30 Rock is as funny, or funnier, than the show it pretends to be producing. | ” |
—The Peabody Board.[40] |
For the show's 2007 episodes, 30 Rock received a Peabody Award at the 67th Annual Peabody Awards.[40] Upon announcing the award, the Peabody Board commended the show for being "not only a great workplace comedy in the tradition of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, complete with fresh, indelible secondary characters, but also a sly, gleeful satire of corporate media, especially the network that airs it."[41]
