'Glee's' Chris Colfer and Jane Lynch Win Golden Globes

Last night at the Golden Globes, "Glee" emerged victorious as Chris Colfer and Jane Lynch each took home awards for Best Supporting Actor and Actress.

Early in the evening, Chris Colfer won a Golden Globe Award for his performance as "Glee's" Kurt Hummel. He was up against Scott Caan (Hawaii Five-O), Chris Noth (The Good Wife), Eric Stonestreet (Modern Family), and David Strathairn (Temple Grandin).

This ingenue actor looked truly touched, as this was his first Golden Globe nomination and win. He commented that he had dropped his heart "somewhere between Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore." Colfer gave the usual round of thank-yous before telling kids not to let bullies stop them from being who they are. As he commented, "screw it, kids."

I was not surprised to see Chris Colfer win his Golden Globe Award. He has given us some compelling material this season on Glee as his character dealt with bullying and his father's heart attack. He has also given us fantastic musical numbers such as Happy Days are Here Again and I Want to Hold Your Hand.

Jane Lynch also came out a winner last night at the Golden Globes, winning an award for her role as Glee's Sue Sylvester. Lynch was up against Hope Davis (The Special Relationship), Kelly MacDonald (Boardwalk Empire), Julia Stiles (Dexter), and Sofia Vergara (Modern Family).

While Colfer's speech was heartfelt, Lynch's speech added a little humor. Lynch commented that she was "falsely humbled." She also thanked Ian Brennan for creating the character of Sue Sylvester and writing every insane line that came out of her mouth. Lynch called Brennan "a deranged young man." She also thanked her wife and kids. Lynch's Golden Globe acceptance speech showed us what a comedic genius she really is.

Matthew Morrison and Lea Michele were not able to capitalize on their Golden Globe nominations. Although they were nominated in the Lead Actor and Lead Actress categories, their characters have taken somewhat of a backseat role this season on "Glee."

Glee ended the evening on a high note when the series won the Golden Globe for Best Television Series--Comedy or Musical. This year's acceptance speech did not top last year's (when Ryan Murphy dedicated the award to "anyone who's ever been given a wedgie"). Still, Murphy and Brennan thanked public school teachers for the important work that they do.

It doesn't look like Glee is in any danger of a sophomore slump. The show has had a a tremendously successful month, with wins at the People's Choice Awards and at last night's Golden Globes.
