Winners Of 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards 2010
Sunday’s 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards was hosted by Jimmy Fallon, who brought some comic moments to the ceremony. Fallon’s Glee spoof with him dressed as Bruce Springsteen singing “Born To Run” guest starring the Glee cast, John Hamm (Mad Men), Tina Fey (30 Rock), and Joel McHale (Community) among others, was a funny bit that was a big hit with the audience. Fallon used the best tweets he received to introduce stars during the show. Fallon’s method of announcing categories was by playing original comedy songs on the guitar and singing them with various stars in the audience.
Eric Stonestreet started Modern Family’s wins by nabbing the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Comedy. Modern Family provided an upset, winning best comedy over popular comedy series Glee and Thirty Rock. Edie Falco won Outstanding Actress In A Comedy for her role in Nurse Jackie. Jane Lynch won Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Comedy for her role in Glee. Kyra Sedgwick, who has been nominated numerous times for lead actress in The Closer, finally won Outstanding Actress In A Drama for her work on the series. Bryan Cranston of Breaking Bad won Outstanding Actor In A Drama for the third year in a row, while his co-star Aaron Paul won his first Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Drama. Mad Men won again for Outstanding Drama.
