It was a night to be gleeful for the cast and crew of "Glee", on the night of the 68th annual Golden Globe Awards. Although "Glee" did not sweep the categories they represented at the Golden Globes, such a feat would be a tall task, since "Glee" received nominations in five categories.

Glee competed against "30 Rock," "The Big Bang Theory," "The Big C," "Modern Family" and Nurse Jackie for the Golden Globe for Best Television Series - Comedy or Musical. Glee managed to take home the highly coveted award of Best Television Series - Comedy or Musical for the second year in a row.

Will Schuester and Rachel Berry Play Backup Roles

Despite being nominated for the second year in a row, Lea Michele's nomination for her role as Rachel Berry for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series - Comedy or Musical did not turn into a trophy, losing to Laura Linney in "The Big C." Also, Matthew Morrison (Will Schuester) did not win Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series - Comedy or Musical although he was nominated. Jim Parsons garnered that award for his role in "The Big Bang Theory". However, "Glee" turned its' two other nominations into Golden Globes.

Sue Sylvester is the Grinch that Stole the Golden Globe

Jane Lynch (playing Sue Sylvester) won for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television for her role in "Glee." She beat out Hope Davis from "The Special Relationship", Kelly MacDonald from "Boardwalk Empire", Julia Stiles in "Dexter" and Sofia Vergara of "Modern Family" fame. Last year, Jane Lynch was nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television, but lost to Chloe Sevigny for her role in "Big Love".

Kurt Hummel Tap Dances to Stardom

Chris Colfer (playing Kurt Hummel) won for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television for his role in "Glee". He beat out Scott Caan from "Hawaii Five-O," Chris Noth from "The Good Wife," Eric Stonestreet of "Modern Family" fame and David Strathairn of HBO's "Temple Grandin." This was Chris Colfer's first Golden Globe nomination and win.
