"There are two kinds of pain," President Frank Underwood once remarked in one of his most famous "House of Cards" quotes. "The sort of pain that makes you strong, or useless pain. The sort of pain that's only suffering. I have no patience for useless things."

But if Kevin Spacey, who plays the ruthless politician on the Netflix hit series, felt any pain at all when he did not receive a 2015 Golden Globe nomination is doubtful, especially since Robin Wright did pick up a nod for her work on the series, according to the Baltimore Sun.

Wright, who stars in "House of Cards" as Claire, Underwood's wife and first lady of the United States, already took home a Best Female Performance in a Television Series Golden Globe in 2014, while Spacey this year won the male equivalent. The show itself, meanwhile, was nominated in the "Best Television Series - Drama" category both of those years but has so far failed to win a trophy.

The 49-year-old Wright, who for 14 years was married to Hollywood star Sean Penn, has won critical praise for her appearances in "Forrest Gump" and "New York, I Love You," among other feature films. She will find out on Jan. 10, 2016, if she gets to take home the globe statuette awarded by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

The actress will be competing against Caitriona Balfe, nominated for her work in "Outlander"; Viola Davis, who received a nod for "How to Get Away with Murder"; Eva Green, nominated for "Penny Dreadful"; and Taraji P. Henson, recognized for "Empire."

"House of Cards," meanwhile, did even better with respect to the Screen Actors Guild Awards handed out by the Screen Actors Guild‐American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, Enstars reported.

Both Wright and Spacey were nominated in the acting category, and -- underscoring the team effort that politics is, at least sometimes, too -- the drama also stands to win a prize in the "Best Ensemble Cast in a TV Drama Series" category.
