This year’s coverage of the Golden Globe Awards will be, unfortunately, rather short. Toni didn’t attend the Globes, nor did she win in the Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical category for “United States of Tara”. The Golden Globe went to Laura Linney, a no-show as well. So, no pictures, no media this year. The segment of her category has been uploaded to the video archive for archival purposes anyway ;-)

Showtime has announced the spring premiere dates for three of its series. Nurse Jackie, which stars Broadway veteran Edie Falco, will begin its third season on March 28 at 10pm. Immediately following, The United States of Tara, which features Tony Award nominee Toni Collette and new cast member Eddie Izzard, will also air the first episode of its third season.

Entertainment Weekly has the exclusive first picture from “United States of Tara”‘s third season:

In Showtime’s acclaimed dramedy United States of Tara, Collette stars as Tara Gregson, a woman with dissociative identity disorder whose multiple personalities regularly take over her life. It all gets even more complicated in the third season (premiering next spring), when Tara’s personalities – or alters – start communicating with one another. (In this scene, the June Cleaver-channeling Alice chats up hippie-happy Shoshana.) So what does Tara make of this development? ”She thinks it’s weird!” says Collette, adding that her character – who was already on the verge of a breakdown – struggles to keep her other identities from ganging up on her. ”There’s a kind of a deal that she makes with the alters this season,” the Emmy winner teases. But as things progress, ”it’s a deal that might be jeopardized.”

Congratulations to Toni for receiving another Golden Globe nomination as Best Actress in a Television Series Comedy or Musical for “United States of Tara”. She shares the category with Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie), Tina Fey (30 Rock), Laura Linney (The Big C) and Lea Michele (Glee). Toni won the Golden Globe in January 2010 for the first season of “United States of Tara”, in addition to also winning the Emmy and a SAG Award nomination. The Golden Globes are handed out on January 16, 2011.

Toni Collette has received a nomination for the Golden Satellite Award (International Press Academy) in the Best Actress in a Comedy category for “United States of Tara”. She shares this category with Jane Adams (Hung), Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie), Tina Fey (30 Rock), Laura Linney (The Big C) and Lea Michele (Glee). The awards luncheon will take place on December 19th in the Los Angeles Ballroom of the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza. Congratulations, Toni!

Congratulations to Toni for receiving yet another AFI Award nomination, Australia’s Oscar equivalent, this time as Best International Actress for “United States of Tara”s second season. She shares this category with Bojana Novakovic (Edge of Darkness), Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland) and Naomi Watts (Mother and Child). The ceremony is due to take place in December in Melbourne. This is Toni’s tenth nomination!
