Chris Colfer: Glee Cast is 'Over the Moon' About Five Nominations

The supporting actor nominee compares the success of his Fox hit to "the Soviet Union: it's getting bigger and bigger."

Chris Colfer couldn't have been more excited to pick up his first Golden Globe nom for supporting actor for his performance as teen Kurt Hummel on Fox's sophomore hit Glee.

The actor said the dramedy's success was "like the Soviet Union: it's getting bigger and bigger and I think it has a lot to do with the music -- it unites everyone."

Colfer said he planned to "blackmail" some of his cast members into celebrating the show's TV-leading five nominations over lunch. "Everyone is over the moon," he noted.

As for rumors that production on Glee's upcoming Super Bowl episode was delayed because of a tonsillitis outbreak on the set, he tells THR: "The tonsillitis thing was a little stretch; I'm not sure how much of that was true. I thought we were shutting down because of fog with the night shoots."

Looking ahead, Colfer would only tease that as of Episode 12, there was no development with his on-screen relationship with new Glee star, Darren Criss' Blaine.

"I'm sure there's hope," he said.

WOO-HOO! F-I-V-E nominations, more than any other television series! GO GLEE! SO thrilled for Chris, Jane, Lea, and Matthew. Unfortunately I think it will be a long shot for any of them to win, especially Lea and Matthew, who are up against the likes of Edie Falco, Laura Linney, Alec Baldwin, and Jim Parsons. The supporting categories for television at the Golden Globes are extra tough because they include comedy and drama together. Chris is very young and this is his first nomination, but he has earned so much praise for his work. Jane was nominated last time and was favored to win, but lost to Chloe Sevigny from "Big Love." I think it will be an uphill battle for the show as well. Glee won the Golden Globe for this year, but the critics have been less glowing in the sophmore season, and the show is up against Modern Family, which won the Emmy this year, and perennial favorite "30 Rock."

Still and all, a definite honor to be nominated. YEA!!!!!!
