Helen Mirren, who played two different Queen Elizabeths last year, has essentially beaten herself, as her miniseries "Elizabeth I" wins in a category that also included her final "Prime Suspect."

And yet she remained in her seat -- accent unheard -- as the producers accepted.

Eddie Murphy gets a much-deserved win for "Dreamgirls," which could end up having as good a night as the British empire.

Though the Brits immediately rack up another one, as Bill Nighy wins, too, for HBO's "Gideon's Daughter."

"I've apologized to Robert Duvall [nominated for "Broken Trail"]. It seems crazy to me," says Nighy, who really was good, not merely British.

Helen Mirren finally makes it up to the stage to accept her own personal Golden Globe for "Elizabeth I" -- and, yes, she was nominated, too, for "Prime Suspect."
