14 DAY TRIAL // Last night, at the 2011 Golden Globe Awards, Chris Colfer of “Glee” won Best Supporting Actor in a Series, Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for Television. His acceptance speech was all about equality and individuality.
A stunned Chris could hardly believe his ears when his name was called out as winner in the aforementioned category.
From the images shown on the big screens, his “Glee” co-stars were just as surprised, but also incredibly happy for him, barely able to contain their tears as he went up on stage.
As the video below will confirm, the star thanked everyone involved in the making of the hit show, from creator Ryan Murphy to his castmates whom, he said, deserved to be up there with him just as much as he deserved to be there.
He then turned his attention to a topic that’s been getting a lot of media since early 2010, the issue of bullying among teens, specifically on grounds like orientation.
Colfer dedicated his award to all the teen boys and girls who are always told they would never fit in and who are constantly picked on because they’re different.
“Most importantly, to all the amazing kids that watch our show and the kids that our show celebrates that are constantly told no by bullies in their school and they can’t be who they are,” Colfer said.
“Well, screw that, kids,” the visibly nervous actor added, holding up his award, before bowing out.
Colfer had some serious competition for the Golden Globe award that he proudly took home last night, as we also informed you a while back, when the nominations were announced.
The other nominees included Chris Noth for “The Good Wife,” Scott Caan for “Hawaii- 5-0,” David Strathairn for “Temple Grandin” and Eric Stonestreet for “Modern Family.”
