(CBS)  Some of the biggest women in film and television won Golden Globes Sunday night, including Renee Zellweger, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Diane Keaton.

And the big question today is what do these honors mean in terms of the coveted Oscar.

Supporting Actress winner Renee Zellweger, who won her third Golden Globe for portraying a frontier woman in "Cold Mountain," was asked whether this award, combined with her success last year in "Chicago," gives her a lock on the Oscar.

“No you really can never tell about those things and so I try not to," Zellweger said. "I just don't really think about that much. I have the friends that I made on it in my life and I'm pretty full from that, you know.

"It's been a nice ride,” Zellweger said. “They're very generous. They are very kind to me."

Keaton won Globe once before for 1977's Annie Hall, and then took home an Oscar that year. This year, she won the Globe for Best Actress in a musical or comedy for her starring role in writer/director Nancy Meyer's hit "Something's Gotta Give."

Keaton told The Early Show co-anchor Harry Smith, “This is the best. I really loved Nancy's script and I think it spoke to a lot of people who deserve a lot of attention, and you can have fun when you are over 50. It's still there and you can still have fun. So I really feel honored."

The film made money, which brings more than awards, Keaton said, “It just means that there are so many more opportunities that are going to come my way because of this," she said, "and I'm going to take every bit of advantage that I possible can, because I'm very excited about life, and I don't want to stop and this is really nice."

Sarah Jessica Parker won her fourth Golden Globe as Best Actress in a Comedy Series for "Sex And The City," now in it's sixth and final season.

Parker said, “This is particularly meaningful as I have seven shooting days left of "Sex And The City", and I am feeling especially emotional that it has been, by choice, a better part of my life, or the better part of my life, timewise for the last seven years, and I was happy to be prisoner that way. It was a real privilege and it was a very hard decision for me to make to end the show. As hard as the theoretical has been, the actual execution of this coming to an end has been much harder."

Parker said she had no idea when she embarked on this adventure that it was going to bear the kind of fruit it has.

“I think it would be unattractive to dream that big, or to say it out loud anyway,” Parker said. “This is the kind of job that mostly doesn't come along, so I wouldn't have pondered success. I was mostly fearful of success, 'cause I thought success was confining. I thought success was limiting. And I didn't know that really stellar writing could be liberation, so no, I didn't. I just keep saying it tonight, I just feel like I stepped in the biggest pile of poo that ever was."

And she's darn happy about it.

When Smith complimented Zellweger on her dress, the actress said, "Thank you. That's a really nice thing for you to say actually, because I was thinking that the jet lag was starting to surface just a little.”

Walking down the red carpet, she said she did not feel she had it all together. "No, no, no, just completely discombobulated,” she said. “Trying to remember why I was here. And then it hit me and then it hit me as soon as I sat in my chair. Boy, did it hit me."

Other Winners last night included Sean Penn for Best Actor In A Drama Film and "Without A Trace" star Anthony LaPaglia, who walked off with the Best Actor in a Drama Television Series.
