Annette Bening and "The Kids Are Alright" won. Natalie Portman, Colin Firth and "The Social Network" won. Chris Colfer, Jane Lynch and "Glee" took home trophies, too.

No, there weren't too many surprises at this year's Golden Globe Awards. But there were three winners who fell into the somewhat unexpected category. Here's who they are, followed by a complete list of all the Golden Globe winners.

Surprise No. 1: Katey Sagal for lead actress in a TV drama

Sagal won for her role on "Sons of Anarchy," beating out previous winners like Julianna Margulies and Kyra Sedgwick. Those familiar with the actress's work as a motorcycle matriarch who becomes a victim of rape may not have been surprised by the honor. But Sagal seemed to be.

Surprise No. 2: Jim Parsons for lead actor in a TV comedy

Since "The Big Bang Theory's" Parsons won the Emmy for his portrayal of uber-nerd Sheldon last year, it wasn't totally out of the blue for him to win a Globe. But it was natural to think the Foreign Press might go with Alec Baldwin or "Glee's" Matthew Morrison. But they did not and Parsons now has another trophy for his collection.

Surprise No. 3: Paul Giamatti wins for lead actor in a movie comedy/musical

With Johnny Depp nominated twice -- and Giamatti up for a film, "Barney's Version," that the average moviegoer hasn't heard of, let alone seen -- the "Sideways" star didn't exactly look like a frontrunner in this race. But he emerged as the winner, deservedly so, in the night's biggest surprise. His performance as a prickly and neurotic TV producer with an enduring love for his third wife, played by Rosamund Pike, was undeniably strong.

Now here's the list of all the Golden Globe Award winners, and an invitation for you to share (via the comments section) the Golden Globe winners who surprised you.
