14 DAY TRIAL // After much debate on whether the nominations for the Emmy Awards 2010 were made for practical and / or commercial reasons or not, the winners were announced last night, during the ceremony that took place at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles.
As we also informed you a while back, the hit comedy series “Glee” was one of the biggest favorites of the night – as such, it did not disappoint when it came to receiving statuettes.
The same goes for the HBO drama “The Pacific” or the sensationally popular television series “Mad Men,” both of which walked home with Emmys for major categories, including for Outstanding Drama (which went to the latter).
Sadly for Showtime’s killer series “Dexter,” it seemed that voters were not that impressed as to make it a winner in the many categories where it had received nods.
As noted above, the Outstanding Drama Emmy went to “Mad Men,” while Michael C. Hall lost to Bryan Cranston of “Breaking Bad” for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama.
On the bright side, John Lithgow did get to take home a statuette for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series for his part as Trinity in the aforementioned television series.
Other winners included British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, who took home an Emmy for Outstanding Reality Program with his Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution, which debuted in the US a while back and aims to change the way people here eat to improve their life and health.
For the comedy section, Edie Falco won Outstanding Actress in a Comedy for “Nurse Jackie,” Jim Parsons Outstanding Actor in a Comedy for “The Big Bang Theory,” while Outstanding Comedy Series was named “Modern Family.”
In the Miniseries or TV Movie section, HBO’s “The Pacific” was named best Miniseries or Movie, while “Temple Grandin” won the Outstanding TV Movie Emmy.
