2010 Emmy Winners

What a refreshing show! This year there were many upsets and happy surprises. Jimmy Fallon did a stand up job of hosting, peppering in a good amount of humor and musical numbers. If you didn't catch the show, the list of winners is below.

I was most surprised by Juliana Marguiles NOT winning for Best Lead Actress in a Drama. The Emmys have loved her previously and all of the critics had predicted her win. And for it to go to Kyra Sedwick? If you're not going to give it to Juliana, I feel it should have gone to Connie Britton for her amazing work on Friday Night Lights.

I was also very happy to see Jim Parsons finally be recognized for his work as Sheldon. He is what makes that show work and it is a really hard role to play.

Beside the awards, there were plenty of musical numbers and skits. My favorite skit was with Modern Family and George Clooney. Luckily, it's already online!
