And the Emmys Went To ...
Sunday's 60th annual Primetime Emmy Awards kicked off with a bevy of stars delivering some of Hollywood's most famous catchphrases -- followed by Oprah's address to the audience, telling them that "television has offered us words to live by, some more colorful than others."
The show then turned to a back-and-forth between the hosts -- Ryan Seacrest, Heidi Klum, Tom Bergeron, Howie Mandel and Jeff Probst -- all nominated for Emmys as Best Reality Host.
Jeremy Piven won his third Emmy as Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy series for his portrayal of the snarky agent Ari Gold in "Entourage." When the actor took the stage, he joked about the show's lengthy opening, saying, "I thought we were being punk'd as an audience."

I’m glad that “Mad Men” won best drama. that doesn’t mean I’ll be watching that show in the near future. The only thing that I watched on AMC is “Sunday Morning Shootout,” and maybe one or two movies. That’s about it. I’m still a little mad that the Emmy awards had snubbed “The Gilmore Girls,” even though the show isn’t on anymore. I was rooting for Christina Applegate. even though she lost, I still proud of her.
