Australian actress Toni Collette has won a Golden Globe for her role as a mother-of-two living with dissociative identity disorder in the TV series United States of Tara.''Gee, thank you so much,'' Collette said in her acceptance speech at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.''This is a real pleasure.''The last time I came here 15 years ago, I was on the loo and missed my whole category.'' The other nominees were Courteney Cox (Cougar Town), Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie), Tina Fey (30 Rock) and Lea Michele (Glee). Fellow Australian nominees Simon Baker (The Mentalist) and Rose Byrne (Damages) walked away empty handed.WINNERS LISTBest Motion Picture, Drama Avatar The Hurt LockerInglourious BasterdsPrecious: Based on the Novel Push by SapphireUp in the AirBest Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical The Hangover (500) Days of SummerIt's ComplicatedJulie & JuliaNineBest Director - Motion Picture James Cameron, Avatar Kathryn Bigelow, The Hurt LockerClint Eastwood, InvictusJason Reitman, Up in the AirQuentin Tarantino, Inglourious BasterdsBest Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama Jeff Bridges, Crazy Heart George Clooney, Up in the AirColin Firth, A Single ManMorgan Freeman, InvictusTobey Maguire, BrothersBest Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama Sandra Bullock, The Blind Side Emily Blunt, The Young VictoriaHelen Mirren, The Last StationCarey Mulligan, An EducationGabourey Sidibe, Precious: Based on the Novel Push by SapphireBest Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture Christoph Waltz, Inglourious Basterds Matt Damon, InvictusWoody Harrelson, The MessengerChristopher Plummer, The Last StationStanley Tucci, The Lovely BonesBest Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture Mo'Nique, Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire Penelope Cruz, NineVera Farmiga, Up in the AirAnna Kendrick, Up in the AirJulianne Moore, A Single ManBest Actor in a Motion Picture, Comedy Robert Downey Jnr, Sherlock Holmes Matt Damon, The Informant!Daniel Day-Lewis, NineJoseph Gordon-Levitt, (500) Days of SummerMichael Stuhlbarg, A Serious ManBest Actress in a Motion Picture, Comedy Meryl Streep, Julie and Julia Sandra Bullock, The ProposalMarion Cotillard, NineJulia Roberts, DuplicityMeryl Streep, It's ComplicatedBest Screenplay - Motion Picture Up in the Air, Jason Reitman, Sheldon Turner The Hurt Locker, Mark BoalDistrict 9, Neill Blomkamp, Terri TatchellInglourious Basterds, Quentin TarantinoIt's Complicated, Nancy MeyersBest Animated Feature Film Up CoralineFantastic Mr FoxCloudy with a Chance of MeatballsThe Princess and the FrogBest Foreign Language Film The White Ribbon A ProphetThe MaidBaariaBest Television Series, Drama Mad Men Big LoveDexterHouseTrue BloodBest Television Series, Comedy or Musical Glee 30 RockEntourageModern FamilyThe OfficeBest Actor in a Television Series, Drama Michael C Hall, Dexter Simon Baker, The MentalistJon Hamm, Mad MenHugh Laurie, HouseBill Paxton, Big LoveBest Actress in a Television Series, Drama Julianna Margulies, The Good Wife Glenn Close, DamagesJanuary Jones, Mad MenAnna Paquin, True BloodKyra Sedgwick, The CloserBest Actor in a Television Series, Comedy or Musical Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock Steve Carell, The OfficeThomas Jane, HungDavid Duchovny, CalifornicationMatthew Morrison, GleeBest Actress in a Television Series, Comedy or Musical Toni Collette, United States of Tara Courteney Cox, Cougar TownTina Fey, 30 RockEdie Falco, Nurse JackieLea Michele, GleeBest Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television Grey Gardens Into the StormLittle DorritTaking ChanceGeorgia O'KeeffeBest Actor in a Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television Kevin Bacon, Taking Chance Kenneth Branagh, Wallander: One Step BehindChiwetel Ejiofor, EndgameBrendan Gleeson, Into the StormJeremy Irons, Georgia O'KeeffeBest Actress in a Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television Drew Barrymore, Grey Gardens Joan Allen, Georgia O'KeeffeJessica Lange, Grey GardensAnna Paquin, The Courageous Heart of Irena SendlerSigourney Weaver, Prayers for BobbyBest Supporting Actor in a Series, Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television John Lithgow, Dexter Neil Patrick Harris, How I Met Your MotherMichael Emerson, LostJeremy Piven, EntourageWilliam Hurt, DamagesBest Supporting Actress in a Series, Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television Chloe Sevigny, Big Love Jane Adams, HungRose Byrne, DamagesJane Lynch, GleeJanet McTeer, Into the Storm
