Two more quick notes of interest.  First, the impossibly beautiful Julie Bowen, who won the evening's first award thanks to her work on Modern Family, played the love interest in the Adam Sandler comedy Happy Gilmore.  Second, The Big Bang Theory's Jim Parsons won his second consecutive comedic lead actor award, meaning that Steve Carell officially never won an Emmy for playing Michael Scott on The Office.

It must stick in HBO's craw a little bit that though they lead every other network in nominations, AMC swoops in and takes home that Outstanding Drama Series statuette, particularly since the a-cable network passed on Mad Men many moons ago.  Then again, The Wire never won a single Emmy and that series was arguably the finest bit of fiction ever concocted for TV, so maybe not.
