Looks like all of Chris Colfer's dreams are coming true.

Not only did the artist known to Gleeks as Kurt win his first Golden Globe (along with victories for Jane Lynch and the show itself), but creator Ryan Murphy confirmed to us tonight that Chris' big ol' wish of a guest star is happening. So who  is it?

Anne Hathaway!

Ryan and the Glee cast stopped by to chat with our own Giuliana Rancic after their win for Series, Television Musical or Comedy, and Ryan shared the news that Anne is coming on the show--which apparently came as a surprise to some of the cast!

When asked when they found out about the casting scoop, Amber Riley laughed, "He just said it about 10 minutes ago!"

Last month, on the Glee set, Colfer told us his dream gets for the show include Julie Andrews and Anne Hathaway, adding, "Can you imagine a family with myself, Mike O'Malley, Julie Andrews and Anne Hathaway? That's one hell of a family!"

No word yet as to what Anne will be playing, but she has said she'd love to play Kurt's lesbian aunt. 

Big casting reveals weren't the only things the cast was sharing tonight. Still riding high from their wins, the cast gave Giuliana an impromptu dance lesson and taught her how to do "The Dougie."

See it all in the video above and also find out which castmember was asking celebs for autographs during the show and which one has a reputation for bursting into tears when watching the show.
