Was it just me or were the 2010 Emmys the BEST show ever???
First of all, props to Jimmy Fallon as the host - he really knows how to entertain! And the opening of this years awards show (see the Gleeful amazingness above) was so fun, it almost deserves an Emmy itself! Fave part? Kate Gosselin volunteering to dance and getting turned down... loves it.
Meanwhile, Lost got completely shut out! Boo to that. But on the other hand, it was a year of newcomers, except for Mad Men winning outstanding drama series. Modern Family beat Glee for outstanding comedy, but Glee won for best directing and supporting actress (Jane Lynch). Modern Family won for writing and supporting actor. And don't forget Jim Parsons winning best actor for The Big Bang Theory!
On the drama side, Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul won for best actor and supporting actor - congrats! - and Kyra Sedgwick won for The Closer.
Finally, Temple Grandin was voted outstanding made-for-television movie with Claire Danes winning best actress. For all the other winners, click below the cut!
