From Twilight heartthrob Robert Pattinson donning a new red ‘do to Britain’s funnyman Ricky Gervais eliciting laughs and gaffs for his brutally honest stabs at Hollwood’s hottest stars to the blush frock of Black Swan star Natalie Portman, the Golden Globes was wrought with various shades of red.

The most endearing “red” moment though goes to Chris Colfer’s acceptance speech for his award as best actor in a supporting role. Colfer, who’s trademark is humble sincerity and authenticity, made the crowd blush when he gave a heartwarming salute to fans who find themselves bullied by those who strike below the belt like, say, Gervais:

“Most importantly, to all the amazing kids that watch our show and the kids that our show celebrates, who are constantly told ‘no’ by the people in their environments, by bullies at school that they can’t be who they are or have what they want because of who they are. Well, screw that, kids.”

Colfer’s TV series, Glee, took home the award for best television series – comedy or musical and fellow cast member Jane Lynch also snagged a golden globe for best actress in a supporting role in a series, miniseries or made for television motion picture.

Glee cast members weren’t the only “geeks” to get the best revenge by securing top awards. The Social Network claimed four globes for best dramatic motion picture, best screenplay (Aaron Sorkin), best director (David Fincher) and best original score. Colin Firth (The King’s Speech) and Natalie Portman (Black Swan) walked away with golden statues for best performance by an actor/actress in a motion picture, drama – both roles also portraying a “bullied” character.

Commentators are awarding “the biggest geek globe” to Jim Parsons who won best performance by an actor in a television series – comedy or musical for his role as Sheldon Cooper in The Big Bang Theory.
