Stallone earned Globe nominations for both his screenplay and his performance in 1976's "Rocky", but Sunday marked his first win.
Also nominated for the supporting actor Golden Globe were Michael Shannon for "99 Homes"; Mark Rylance for "Bridge of Spies"; Idris Elba for "Beasts of No Nation"; and Paul Dano for "Love & Mercy".
Other big names at the premiere included star Michael B. Jordan, and his on-screen adversary Tony Bellew.
"I'm gonna try not to get emotional, because I am the sum total of everyone I've ever met and I'm lucky to absorb some of it", he shared.
Picking up the role in Creed was tough for Sylvester, who lost his son Sage in 2012. I was in shock.
Between the two of them, they have daughters Sistine, 17, Sophia, 19, and Scarlett, 13. As Stallone pointed out, they can't wait forever: "There's a diminishing time acceptance of a sequel". "I was hoping it would be a game-changer, but the feedback from the studio was that it confused people", Stallone said. Joining him on the red carpet will be star Michael B. Jordan, Director Ryan Coogler, Tessa Thompson, and boxing champ Tony Bellew. "Was there really? Are you kidding?" he told reporters backstage following his win.
The then unknown actor stood his ground and fought his corner to eventually make the role his own, and this latest victory represents the acknowledgement of a life's work that is fully deserved for Stallone.
"To be frank, any time you can vent emotions that are real, I feel that it's very, very helpful", Stallone said.
Stallone's speech was brief (perhaps too brief, as you'll see in a moment); he concluded by thanking his "imaginary best friend" Rocky Balboa himself - but the really tremendous moment came from just watching him take the stage.
