Meryl Streep swept the Golden Globes Sunday bringing her trophy count up to seven for the award season thus far. Streep, who won the best actress honor for Julie & Julia, teared up during her speech. With a shaky voice, she thanked director Nora Ephron and the cast and crew of Julia & Julia, joking that she had “played so many extraordinary women that [I am] now being mistaken for one.”  She also thanked her late mother for being her inspiration in life. Streep was one of the many unsurprising winners, which included Avatar and its director James Cameron. In the evening’s emotional highlight, Michael C. Hall, who announced he is suffering from lymphoma on Friday, accepted his best TV actor in a drama award in a knitcap to hide his hair loss.
