HBO's freshman series True Blood has just nabbed its first major award. Leading lady Anna Paquin is taking home the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a TV Drama.
It was a tough category, as she faced past winners Mariska Hargitay and Kyra Sedgwick along with January Jones and Sally Field. What do you think of Paquin's win?
Let me know which wins you loved and which you loathed by voting in all of my polls!

It should have gone to Mariska.
1Disagree. Mariska def should have gotten it.
2I love True Blood, but January Jones was robbed.
3I've never seen True Blood, but Anna's from NZ, so, YAY!!
4Mariska should have won.
It's so easy to be recognized in a new show coz everybody is excited but to be in a show for 10 years and sitll find something to do with your character enough to be recognized is difficult. And I think Mariska still amazes even if she's doing Olivia Benson for 10 years. If anyone has seen the latest season and the emotions she showed when a victim died in her arms in the episode Persona or when she was questioning a suspect in PTSD episode, I think you will all agree that Mariska is the best actress on TV.
5It should have been January Jones for mad men. She was incredible this season.
6It really should have been January Jones. I like True Blood and Anna Paquin, but January was amazing.
7Love True Blood so I def think she deserved it!
8I love True Blood, but for me it's more trashy fun than a legitimate drama, especially in comparison with the other shows out there. Ditto Anna Paquin -- she's great on the show, but comparatively speaking I was shocked at her win. I think I lot of the commenters here got it right. January Jones should have won, no question. The character of Betty Draper evolved a lot in season 2 and the actress responded amazingly to all the changes.
9i'm completely surprised by this one, but it's not a bad thing. she's a phenomenal actress and we've see that over the years, especially with her win when she was 10 (an oscar right?)
10love True Blood but I don't think she deserves it.
11I think she deserves it, I've always liked her.
12I think she deserved it. True blood is kind of a ridiculous show (it's good, but ridiculous) so I can see why people don't think a role in it is worthy of a serious award but her acting in it is great so I think it's deserved.
