Who said awards ceremonys were boring and predictable? A mind-reading, vampire-loving waitress has taken out one of the top TV awards at the 2009 Golden Globes.
Anna Paquin won best actress in a drama for her portrayal of psychic Sookie Stackhouse in the vampire drama True Blood (slated to premiere in Australia on February 10), defeating past winners Kyra Sedwick (The Closer) and Mariska Hargitay (Law & Order: SVU) for the award.
But not all the victories were as unexpected: Emmy-winning series 30 Rock took out best comedy, while stars Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin won best actress and actor in a comedy for their work in the series, roles that have already netted them several high-profile awards.
Mad Men stars Jon Hamm and January Jones missed out on taking home awards for best dramatic actor and actress, though the Emmy Award-winning series picked up the accolade for best drama.
But did they deserve to win? Hollywood awards ceremonies have a notorious reputation for handing out statuettes to the wrong people — TVFIX's Sam Downing reveals whether the Golden Globes got it right.
