Los Angeles played host to the 64th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards this
evening. Just who took home the gold statues in the most coveted
categories?
For the most part, the 64th Annual show looked very similar to many other shows from years past with Modern Family and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart sweeping (the latter now taking 10 statues in its category. Crazy, right!?). But thankfully, they made way for some new to shine, too, like the team behind Homeland and Jessica Lange for the innovative miniseries American Horror Story.
Admittedly, all I personally wanted was for Homeland to win all the major drama awards (it did), for Jessica Lange to take the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries category (she did), and for Amy Poehler to win Outstanding Lead in a Comedy for Parks and Recreation (sadly, she did not). Overall, it was a pretty good night for me, especially considering the opening bit had a bunch of my favorite funny ladies punching host Jimmy Kimmel in the face. As if I wasn't jealous of them enough as it was!
