Primetime Emmy Award 2010 Winners Revealed on Aug 29, 2010. The stars from different drama series were present at this huge event. All the celebrities were gathered in unity to
wait for their rewards for the performances they had done throughout the whole year. For the first time ever, the Emmys were shown live in Los Angeles. NBC recognized they were up against very stiff competition this year. This years Emmy Award was a diverse group with quite a few brand new additions to the list. With the all new shows in the running, older Emmy winners had a more difficult time, with the additional competition. With the varied mix of nominees for the Prime Time Emmy, everyone knew it would be an interesting night. The ceremony itself opened with a big, Glee-style opening number set to Bruce Springsteen’s “Born To Run” featuring the cast performing with Jimmy Fallon, Tina Fey, Jon Hamm, Betty White, Joel McHale, Kate Gosselin, Jorge Garcia, Tim Gunn, and Randy Jackson. And much like Glee, this set the stage for an entire night of musical numbers substituting for actual jokes, as seen in Jimmy Fallon’s later impressions of Elton John and Billie Joe Armstrong.
In one of the true upsets of the night, Modern Family took Best Comedy away from fellow
freshman Glee after also nabbing trophies for Best Supporting Actor and Best Writing. But
don’t feel bad for Glee: Jane Lynch took home her first Emmy for playing Sue Sylvester, likely setting her up to be the next perennial nominee in the Jeremy Piven or Christine Baranski mold, while Ryan Murphy grabbed one for Best Directing.Mad Men won Best Drama again. Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston won Best Actor again. Cranston’s co-star Aaron Paul took Best Supporting Actor in another of the night’s surprise (and most deserved) wins. Both shows thanked AMC profusely and basically called it the only network with any balls. Finally, the stranglehold that The Amazing Race has held over the Best Reality Show category was broken. It was a triumphant moment—except for the poor staff member who tripped on her way to the podium and ensured she would be mentioned in just about every Emmy wrap-up.
