Anna Paquin was more excited about passing her driving test than being nominated for a Golden Globe award.

The 'True Blood' star - who is up for the Best Actress in a Television Drama honour - admits she's thrilled to be acknowledged for her work but is happier that she now has the freedom to drive herself about.

She said: "I'm oddly more excited about the driver's licence. I'm totally the two-handed driver, and I'm not very good at parallel parking."

The awards take place on Sunday (17.01.10) but Anna admits she doesn't get too excited about attending glittering ceremonies.

Anna - who won the same award at last year's show and was also the recipient of the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress when she was just 11 - said: "It's probably not any different than any other day."
