The winner was Julianne Moore for her portrayal of former US vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin in Game Change.
The other nominees in the Actress in a mini-series or movie made for TV were Jessica Lange (American Horror Story: Asylum), Sienna Miller (The Girl) and Sigourney Weaver (Political Animals).
It is a busy night for Kidman and husband Keith Urban, with Kidman also nominated for supporting actress for the film The Paperboy.
Urban was nominated in the original song category for For You, a song he wrote for the action film Act of Valor. The Globe went to British songstress Adele for her song Skyfall, from the new James Bond movie of the same name. The other nominees were Jon Bon Jovi (Not Running Anymore for the movie Stand Up Guys), Taylor Swift (Safe & Sound for The Hunger Games) and Claude-Michel Schonberg (Suddenly for Les Miserables).
Kidman and Urban are not strangers at award shows, but it is rare that they were nominees at the same show.
"When we were driving here we said 'Wow, this will probably never happen again'," Kidman said on the red carpet before the ceremony began.
The Golden Globe win was Waltz's second supporting-actor prize at the Globes, both of them coming in Quentin Tarantino films.
Waltz's v! iolent but paternal and polite Django character as a genteel bounty hunter who takes on an ex-slave as apprentice is a sharp contrast to the wickedly bloodthirsty Nazi he played in his Globe and Oscar-winning role in Tarantino's 2009 tale Inglourious Basterds.
"Let me gasp," Waltz said. "Quentin, you know that my indebtedness to you and my gratitude knows no words."British actress Maggie Smith won Supporting Actress, TV Series, Miniseries or Movie for her performance in Downton Abbey.
Game Change won for Miniseries or Movie, and its star Julianne Moore beat Kidman in the Actress, Miniseries or Movie category.
Show hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, who co-starred in the 2008 big-screen comedy Baby Mama, had a friendly rivalry at the Globes. Both were nominated for best actress in a TV comedy series, Fey for 30 Rock and Poehler for Parks and Recreation.
"Tina, I just want to say that I very much hope that I win," Poehler told Fey at the start of the show.
"Thank you. You're my nemesis. Thank you," Fey replied.Poehler also had a quip about television vs film at the Globes, where the small-screen category typically takes a backseat to the big-screen nominees.
"Only at the Golden Globes do the beautiful people of film rub shoulders with the rat-faced people of television," Poehler said.
Looking glamorous but feeling frigid, stars from film and television including Naomi Watts and Kidman arrived for the Golden Globes ceremony, battling crisp temperatures on the red carpet.
Debra Messing from Smash came in a strapless black gown and goosebumps. Asked how she was coping with the cold, she replied, "Not well".
Melissa Rauch of The Big Bang Theory also shivered in her strapless red gown. "I'm absolutely freezing." she said.
Claire Danes of Homeland in Versace and Zooey Deschanel of New Girl in a strapless Oscar de la Renta gown walked near heat lamps. "I'm so cold. My legs aren't cold but my arms are," said Deschanel.
Australians Watts, Kidman, her h! usband Ke! ith Urban and Hugh Jackman were all up for awards.
Jackman has been nominated for his turn in Les Miserables in the Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Comedy Or Musical category.
Watts, who walked the red carpet in an elegant high-necked, backless burgundy gown, got the nod for her performance in the Asian tsunami drama The Impossible.
Early arrivals also included Hayden Panettiere of Nashville, Ariel Winter of Modern Family and TV personalities Nicole Ritchie and Kelly Osbourne.
Not everyone was grousing. "I'm totally comfortable," Glenn Close, whose Zac Posen dress was paired with a matching jacket, told US network. "Usually, it's really hot, so I'm having a nice time so far."
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, a nominee for best actress in a comedy for Veep, wore a strapless Vera Wang gown and agreed. "I'd rather be nippy than boiling hot," she said.
The Globes are in a rare place this season, coming after the Academy Award nominations, which were announced earlier than usual and threw out some shockers that have left the Globes show a little less relevant.
Key Globe contenders lined up largely as expected, with Steven Spielberg's Civil War saga Lincoln leading with seven nominations and two CIA thrillers - Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty and Ben Affleck's Argo - also doing well.
All three films earned Globe nominations for best drama and director. Yet while Lincoln, Argo and Zero Dark Thirty grabbed best-picture slots at Thursday's Oscar nominations, Bigelow and Affleck were snubbed for directing honours after a season that had seen them in the running for almost every other major award.
Jodie Foster will receive the Globes' Cecil B DeMille Award for lifetime achievement.
There will be a friendly rivalry between the hosts of the Globe ceremony, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. The co-stars of the 2008 big-screen comedy Baby Mama both are nominated for best actress in a TV comedy or musical series, Fey for 30 Rock and Poehler for Parks and Rec! reation.
