Golden Globes: Chris Colfer wants the LAPD to get ready

Now that Chris Colfer has the Golden Globe he was sure was going to Eric Stonestreet, all bets are off.

"I really hope the LAPD lets me off with a warning tonight, because I'm gonna go crazy," the "Glee" star said backstage after winning for supporting actor in a TV series, adding that he's going to the Fox after-party "of course," and then party hopping.

"I don't have tickets," he said, "but hopefully this" -- he gestured with his award -- "will get me in."

Colfer choked back a few tears upon arrival in the press room -- not the restroom, as his mom thought he was saying on the phone -- but would he actually cry?

"Maybe, a little bit," said Colfer, who'd said he sort of "blacked out" when he heard his name called. "I have my big boy pants on, so I'm trying not to [cry]."

So deserving! I'm thrilled he won.

Chris is an amazing talent. His was the best speech of the entire evening. Jane Lynch was hilarious and I am so glad Glee won. No show on TV gives me what glee gives - drama, comedy, music, heart break and joy that I can share with every member of my family. Thank you Ryan Murphy!

He IS an extremely talented young gay man. The fact that he has so successfully brought a less than “standardly masculine” character to the forefront of TV entertainment is a phenomenal accomplishment. Mr. Colfer is showing a whole generation of young people that one doesn’t have to fit a particular mold to pursue one’s dreams. I venture to say that being type-cast is the least of his concerns at this point.
