The 62nd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards
There was a lot of new comedy but not much new drama at the 62nd annual prime-time Emmy Awards on Sunday night. "Modern Family," the ABC comedy series about a disarmingly dysfunctional family, won the top comedy series honor as well as writing and supporting actor awards. Fox's cult phenomenon "Glee" - nominated for 19 Emmys - took home two trophies: Jane Lynch for supporting actress in a comedy and series creator Ryan Murphy for comedy direction. The combination of "Modern Family" and "Glee" ended the dominance in the comedy category by " 30 Rock," NBC's critically acclaimed but low-rated spoof of the television business.
